How to Print Web Pages and Postscript Files When Using Mosaic on Athena

1. Pull down the "File" menu in Mosaic.
2. Click on "Print"
3. Move the mouse cursor into the gray bar next to the words "Print Command". Modify the print command to print to a printer: "lpr -P[printer name]".

   For example, if you are in the student center Athena cluster (W20-575), the available printers are ajax, ceres, python, pulp, and fiber. To print to ajax, use the print command "lpr -Pajax"

4. Next to the words "Format for printed document" is a button that is a menu of formats in which to print the document. The default is plain text. Click on the button, and you will get a pull-down menu. The plain text option works reasonably well fine for Web pages that have no embedded graphics or images. If the page does have graphics or images, they will disappear in the printout unless you select "Postscript" as the format for the printed document (this option will also make the printout take longer). Note that converting an HTML Web page to PostScript usually produces a different result from the procedure described below, of printing a file originally provided in PostScript format.
5. Click on the "Print" button.

1. If you use Mosaic, and click on a hypertext link to Postscript file, Mosaic automatically spawns "ghostview" and displays the Postscript file.
2. Click on the "File" button. You will get a pull-down menu.
3. Click on "Print"
4. A small window will pop up asking you for a printer name. Enter one.
5. Click on "Okay"
6. To exit ghostview, select "Quit" from the "File" pull-down menu.
