Linux and Windows computers in TBE B-361 can print to the student printer, Ponderosa.

Printing in Linux

To print from a terminal (shell / command prompt):

  • To print to the default printer, type lpr filename
  • To print to a different printer, type lpr -Pprintername filename
  • To check your default printer and list the current print jobs, type lpq
    • The first line of the output of lpq shows your default printer

Printing in Windows

All print menus should work. To check your default printer, go to Start->Printers and Faxes and see which printer has a check mark.
