Printing From The Hansen Cluster

To print from the Hansen cluster to PCN printers, you need to set up your Hansen account to print to the Physics cups server. To do this, log into Hansen and run copy and paste this command:

echo "Servername spool.physics.purdue.edu" >  ~/.cups/client.conf

Once you run this command, you can then print from Hansen as if you working on a local Physics host.

$ lpr -P [printer name] [name of file]

Example:

$ lpr -P Turing test.txt

This procedure will also work for other Purdue UNIX hosts that have a CUPS client installed.
