Duplex (two-sided) printing is the default for all department printers which support it. To request simplex (single-sided) printing, or any of the other special features a particular printer offers, one specifies a modified printer name for the request. The names that correspond to particular printer features can be found in the output of the printers command.
To have a file printed, use the command lpr filename where filename is the name of the file you want to print.
Note: if you use wildcard expansion (e.g., lpr *) make sure that no more than 30 files are specified. If more than 30 files are specified, nothing will print and you will get no notification of the failure.
Note: Only registered hosts can use the printers in the CS department. Information on who is eligible to register a host and how to do so is here.
The CS department runs 4 Intel based machines available to all users of the department. The machines are all Fujitsu CX2560 M5 servers with dual, 16-core 2.3GHz Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors with 512GB RAM running the Springdale distribution of Linux. All of the public login servers allow SSH access:
