Note: printers starting with "CHG" are chargeback and will be billed.

To print to a printer, use the lp command:

lp -dprint_queue file_name

where you would substitute the name of the appropriate print queue for print_queue and the name of the file you want to print for file_name.

To see the status of a print queue, use the lpstat command:

lpstat -oprint_queue

where print_queue would be the name of the queue.

There is no way to cancel a print job. If a job is stuck in a queue, open a ticket in the Help Request Trouble Ticket System.

A list of available print queues can be found in Printers.

Printing is also available from any ITC on campus. For information about printing in an ITC, ask an ITC monitor, visit the ITC Printing Support Site or contact the ITS Help Desk.
