printing in the labs

Following are some instructions on how to print in the labs.
  1. go to SEL 2249F, locate the printer and U print station at the back of the lab, and log on to on of the computers;
  2. assuming the file with your program (proj1.c) is on icarus, use FTP to bring it from icarus to your h: drive (select the ftp from the Internet Tools and log on to icarus, the h: is your drive that keeps your files after logging out, note that FTP also works in the reverse direction, you can bring your program from any drive to icarus this way);
  3. open up your program file by clicking on it (this will launch the Borland c++ program and you should see your program appear);
  4. from the file menu, select print;
  5. go to the U Print Station at the back of the lab and log in, using your netid and same password as for icarus;
  6. the U Print Station will display a menu where you should see your print job, select it and click print, after a couple of moments your file should come out, take it, and log out.
Alternatively, you may also want to try typing on icarus
       lpr -Psel2249f proj1.c
which (on normal UNIX systems), sends the file proj1.c to the printer. You can check the status of the printer in SEL 2249F by the command
       lpq -Psel2249f
