printing in the labs
Following are some instructions on how to print in the labs.
- 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;
- 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);
- open up your program file by clicking on it (this will launch
the Borland c++ program and you should see your program appear);
- from the file menu, select print;
- go to the U Print Station at the back of the lab and log in,
using your netid and same password as for icarus;
- 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
