TOSHIBA e-STUDIO28/35/45 Unix Printer Driver
User’s Guide 36
The option can be in the non-native or native format. Native format means
keyword:option while non-native means keywordoption. Some options can be
specified as just option, for example, A4 or duplex.
Methods of Printing
Through rcutil
• Run rcutil
• Make changes in the settings in the GUI
• Save settings (.f533rc will be updated in the user’s home directory).
• Exit rcutil
• Use lp command to send the job:
o lp –d printqueue filename.prn
Through the command line
• Pass the options through the lp command:
o lp –d printqueue –o keyword1:option –o keyword2:option
filename.prn
keyword:option is any pairing of a feature and one of its
corresponding options. Example: Punch:Left or PageSize:A4
NOTE:
• The actual output using this method may be affected by any settings saved in
the settings file (.f533rc).
Printing from Unix applications
Printing is possible directly from Unix/Linux applications. This section discusses
printing from Netscape Navigator and Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Once the printer driver has been installed, print jobs can be sent to the print queue
directly from Unix applications, or from command line. If the application being used
has a print dialog, specify the lp command in the Print Command field and use the
print queue to send the job to.
If the application has the capability to print to file, print the document to file and
send the output file through lp command to the print queue.
These are better illustrated in the next sub-sections.
