Hi,
As far as I know, you can print from X11 applications using "lp".
You can print from the command line (from an xterm or equivalent,or
even Terminal.app for that matter) using
lp filename
this will print to your default printer.
lp -d cups-printer-name filename
will print to another printer. Beware, if you are using IP printing,
the separators in the printer name are "_", not ".", as in e.g.:
lp -d _10_1_11_206 test.ps
I have no idea how to change it back to dots, tips anyone ?
From other X11 applications, you can usually print from the app menus.
xfig, gv, openoffice, xemacs all include a "print" in their own menu,
sometimes configurable (you generally have to specify the "print"
command -lp- and the destination printer).
Hope that helps.
Francois
