This file is C$DOC:CDFSGA_PRINTING.NOTE


Documents can be sent to any PostScript printer at Fermilab 
with a command similar to:

    > flpr -q b0trwqms_ps document.ps



If you have a favorite printer, you could modify the file
    $HOME/.login
to include a line similar to:
    setenv FLPQUE b0trwqms_ps 
After the next login, the command
    > flpr document.ps
would print to your chosen printer.



Plain text can be converted to PostScript with the a2ps
command.  It is most commonly used in together with flpr
in a command line similar to:

    > a2ps document.txt | flpr -q b0trwqms_ps


One sided printing is enabled with the -s1 qualifier to
the a2ps command, as for example:

   > a2ps -s1 document.txt | flpr -q b0trwqms_ps



Much more documentation on flpr and a2ps is available via the commands:

    > man flpr
    > man a2ps
