| ## page was renamed from PrintingfromUnixPrerequisitesGtklp = Printing prerequisites for UNIX (GtkLP) = If you want to print documents using GtkLP, it is necessary to set some environment variables first. These variables can be set temporarily at the shell ({{{tcsh}}} is the default shell at D-ITET) or permanently in your home's shell's initialization file {{{.cshrc}}}. * Set the default printer for more convenience. The default printer is always pre-selected in GtkLP's printer list (if you need a list of available printers, you can run {{{ gtklp -S ipp2vpp.ee.ethz.ch }}} and then open the "printer" dropdown box in the "General" tab). {{{ Example to make printer "etlf11-x8400" the default printer: setenv PRINTER etlf11-x8400 }}} * Allow applications to provide CUPS printing support: {{{ setenv CUPS_SERVER ipp2vpp.ee.ethz.ch }}} * Set the default printing tool to use (when printing from applications) to GtkLP: {{{ setenv PRINTER_TOOL /usr/sepp/bin/gtklp }}} Now you are ready to print with GtkLP. ''If you want to start printing'', go on reading the article PrintingfromUnix. ==== Note for bash users ==== If your default shell is bash, you must use the '''export''' command instead of '''setenv''': {{{ export PRINTER_TOOL=/usr/sepp/bin/gtklp }}} Note that export's syntax requires a {{{=}}} sign instead of a space to separate the environment variable name from its assigned value. To make your printing related bash-environment variable settings permanent, save them in your home's {{{.bashrc}}} file. |
