(to be translated)<<BR>>
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).
<<BR>>
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>'
<<BR>>
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:<<BR>>
`  lpr -P Benton/Staple -# 200 kursprogram.ps`<<BR>>
De skrivare som klarar av dubbelsidig utskrift har det som standard. Vill man ha en enkelsidig utskrift skriver man
<<BR>>`   lpr -P Benton -o Duplex=None <filnamn>`
