All central servers (linuxgrid & terminalservers) available to the end users have all network printers enabled using the CUPS printing system, i.e. there is no need to setup printers. However, a few questions are relevant:


Setting a default printer (command line):

lpoptions -d bp322028a

Print to a specific printer (command line)

lp -d cp322128a file.ps

Print on both sides:

lp -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble -d bp322028a filename.ps

Saving an '''instance''' (i.e. a specific setting) and using it later:

lpoptions -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble -p bp322028a/d

then print using:

lp -d bp322028a/d filename.pdf

Note: the instance name after the "/" can be anything.
