Printers and Printing

You can either access the printer queues or the physical printers directly. Accessing the physical printers enables you to check things like paper status or amount of toner left etc.

Adding printers to Mac and Windows

where <printer> is Kettler, Forsberg, ForsbergColor, Morison or MorisonColor. Push 'Next'.

In the printer enumeration screen, select 'Use diskette'. Browse to the drive selected above, and then to 'PrinterDrivers', and to an appopriate printer.

Select 'Properties' for the newly added printer, and check that all paper sizes are selected as A4. Print a test page. Done!!

Instructions for printing from Mac OS X.

Using the Scanners

(to be written)

Printing from the command line

(to be translated)
Man väljer skrivare med 'lpr -P<printername>' eller genom att sätta variabeln PRINTER till lämpligt värde (Benton, Benton/Staple, Color, Color/OH, Kettler, Plan_2).
Skrivaroptioner väljs med 'lpr -o <option>'. Vilka optioner som finns för respektive skrivare, får man genom kommandot 'lpoptions -p <skrivare> -l' Antal kopior väljes med 'lpr -# <antal kopior>'
Observera! Det går utmärkt att skicka pdf-filer direkt till skrivarna. Man behöver alltså inte skriva ut från acroread eller xpdf.

Exempel

Följande kommando kan vara lämpligt vid utskrift av kursprogram:
  lpr -P Benton/Staple -# 200 kursprogram.ps
De skrivare som klarar av dubbelsidig utskrift har det som standard. Vill man ha en enkelsidig utskrift skriver man
   lpr -P Benton -o Duplex=None <filnamn>
