Printing Files
You can print many different types of files on the Xerox machine device
using the standard CUPS way - directly from the command line interface.
The CUPS lpr utility allows you do that. But the drivers package replaces
the standard lpr tool by a much more user-friendly LPR GUI program.
To print any document file:
1
Type
lpr <file_name>
from the Linux shell command line and
press
Enter
. The LPR GUI window appears.
When you type only
lpr
and press
Enter
, the Select file(s) to print
window appears first. Just select any files you want to print and
click
Open
.

In the LPR GUI window, select your printer from the list, and
change the printer and print job properties.
For details about the properties window, see page 32.

computer and turned on, your scanner appears on the list and is
automatically selected.

acquisition is in progress on the first scanner, you may select the
second scanner, set the device options and start the image
acquisition simultaneously.
