| + | ====== CUPS Commands ====== | ||
| + | |||
| + | For the most part, you use CUPS lpr commands exactly like you used to with LPRNG: | ||
| + | |||
| + | **lpr -Pprintername** | ||
| + | |||
| + | And that's it! | ||
| + | |||
| + | However, specifying printer options with CUPS is done differently. With LPRNG, printing to transparency or disabling duplexing was done by appending "--slide", "--duplex", or "--simplex" to the printer name. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <codebash>lpr -Psutherland-slide | ||
| + | lpr -Pknuth --simplex | ||
| + | lpr -Psutherland --duplex</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | With CUPS, you can specify media options with the -o option to lpr: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <codebash>lpr -Psutherland -o media=transparency | ||
| + | lpr -Pknuth -o Duplex=None | ||
| + | lpr -Psutherland -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Printers which support these options: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Transparency: //color, evans, sutherland// | ||
| + | * Duplexing: //babbage, color, knuth, sutherland, warnock, ritchie// | ||
| + | |||
| + | Banner pages can be supressed or forced with the option | ||
| + | |||
| + | <codebash>-o job-sheets=none (supress) | ||
| + | -o job-sheets=pcn (enable)</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Multiple options are specified with multiple -o options:\\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | <codebash>lpr -Pknuth -o duplex=none -o job-sheets=none</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Some newer GNOME or KDE applications may support manipulation of these options via the print dialog boxes, much like in Windows or Macintosh OS. | ||
