Printing files

You can use the lp (lineprinter) command to print text files on your local printer. To use lp, type lp, the name of the file, and press <Enter>. The computer responds with the number of your print job and a copy of the file is sent to the printer. This works with any kind of printer, not just a lineprinter.

Try printing the weekly report file you were editing:

  1. Type cd and press <Enter> to go to your home directory.

  2. Type lp weekrep and press <Enter> to print weekrep to your printer.
