Common Unix Print System
UMIACS has replaced our LPRng printing system on our UNIX systems in favor of the industry standard CUPS. This provides us with better support for printers and their specific options.
Printing is only available from UMIACS Networks or when attached to the UMIACS VPN.
A list of printers can be found here
You can see documentation about printing from the command line on our RHEL/Ubuntu hosts at
Differences between our old LPRng print system
- To duplex you need to specify -o sides=two-sided-long-edge instead of -Zduplex the same way. -o sides=two-sided-short-edge can be used for the other duplex orientation.
- Using the lpr command is available, the lp command is the main supported command and has more functionality.
