Paper Usage

   

Students are given a 300 unit paper quota per class. This amount of paper should be plenty to cover all printing needs for one class, but if there is a need for more paper, it can be purchased at the Computer Systems Lab (room 2350) for a small fee (payable by check or money order only).

You have the ability to print two or four pages of output per page using the -2up or -4 options of the print command. See the man page for print for more information.

vega1% print -2up -Plaser test.c

To see how much paper you have, use the lpquota command.

You also have the ability to remove a job while it is still in the queue with the lprm command or the -remove option of the print command.

  

vega1% lprm -P<printername> <login>

vega1% print -P<printername> -remove <login>

The <login> is your login name, and all jobs sent to the printer by you will be removed. If you can not pick up a printout, please remove it from the queue.

If you want to verify that the printout has been removed from the queue, use the lpq command or the -queue option to the print command to do this.

vega1% lpq -Plaser1

vega1% print -Plaser1 -queue

Note that it is your responsibility to check that the printer is working before you send your files. That is, if you send your printout to a printer which is low in toner or printing streaks, your paper quota will not be reimbursed. Please send mail to lab if you notice a printer doing this.
