Printing Files
You can print many different types of files on the Samsung
machine device using the standard CUPS way - directly from
the command line interface. The CUPS lpr utility allows you do
that. But the drivers package replaces the standard lpr tool by
a much more user-friendly LPR GUI program.
To print any document file:
1
Type
lpr <file_name>
from the Linux shell command
line and press
Enter
. The LPR GUI window appears.
When you type only
lpr
and press
Enter
, the Select
file(s) to print window appears first. Just select any files
you want to print and click
Open
.

In the LPR GUI window, select your printer from the list,
and change the printer and print job properties.

device options and start the image acquisition
simultaneously.
