Note: Due to the print quota scheme, print jobs will simply be dropped if your login name is not found in the LDAP directory. One solution is to use -U option of lpr command, for example,
lpr -U username file2Print.ps
The best solution is to implement LDAP authentication or change the login name to SC uid.

Network Printers for UNIX
In most cases, network printers are configured and ready to go as they are. If you need to setup them up for some reason, here are the steps.
DSC uses the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) to manage printing jobs. If you already have CUPS installed on your system, place the following into your client.conf file (usually /etc/cups/client.conf)
- ServerName printers.sc.fsu.edu
Remember to restart cupsd after saving the changes to the file.
You can print to any printer through most of the application printer interface. To print or manage print jobs using command line:
- lpr -P mfp420 filename
- lpq -P mfp420
- lprm -P mfp420 jobID
