NYU Physics Department public network printers

These are the postscript printers available in NYU physics department:

Note:

nyu_physics_ph740 is only accessible through physics server. You can not send job to it from scires, scivis, is, is2, ..., is9, etc. You can send job to it from physics department PC, Mac and Linterm machines.
On SCIRES and most of the physics Linux machines, the ``nyu_'' in the printer name can be dropped off, so ``nyu_physics_hp8100'' becomes ``physics_hp8100'' .
Up to now, there is no way to change the default setting.
The UNIX/Liunx command to check printer status is

lpq -Pprinter_name

(notice there is no space between the capital P and printer_name)
To print files,

lpr -Pprinter_name files
To cancel job,

lprm -Pprinter_name job_code

the job_code is in the status list.
A lot of applications on Unix/Linux machine use lpr program to print documents, here is a screen shot of printing with netscape.
There is also a graphic printing program called glp on scires and linterm. To launch it, you need X window support, the command you need to type is just glp.
