Printing a file, and printer locations

The command for sending a file to a printer is 'lpr'.  The form of the command
is:

	lpr  -Pprintername  filename

...where 'printername' is the name of the printer to use, and 'filename' is
the name of the file to be printed.

For a complete list of printer locations, with their status and number
of jobs, type "cview printers" at the athena prompt.

If you want to check if the printer is working and to check if your file has
been printed, use the 'lpq' command:

	lpq  -Pprintername
