How to print a specific style of header page

There are several different styles of header page available - many of
them should prove useful as scratch paper for your coursework.  Every
time you print a file (unless you specify not to print a header page),
you will get one of the following header pages:

biggraph 	- standard x-y graph paper

hex		- hexagonal graph paper

loglog		- logarithmic graph paper

polar		- polar coordinate graph paper

staff		- music staff

bigstaff	- large music staff

blank		- a blank header page with just your username

tinygraph	- small graph paper

graph		- same as tinygraph

You can select one of these pages when you print a file by doing the
following:

athena% lpr -Zbanner=<bannername> myfile.ps

where <bannername> is the name of one of the above header pages.   

For example, to get polar graph paper, you would do:

athena% lpr -Zbanner=polar myfile.ps


Alternately, if you want a particular banner page to be used for
everything you print, you can put a line in your .environment
modifying your LPROPT variable, such as:

	  setenv LPROPT -Zbanner=biggraph
