Printing from the CLI

[Spiritof76]

I have a headless server running Lucid (10.4.2) connected to that printer is an HP 930C. I have cups running and am able to initiate print jobs over the network from my desktop workstations.

Wat I haven't figured out is how to print a textfile directly from the CLI Console.

I have an entry /dev/lp0
My printers name is HP_DeskJet_930C

Take a look at lpr(1) http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/...an1/lpr.1.html

It will print to the default printer on the system by

lpr [ filename ]
