All line printers have names starting with `lp'. In most situations, to print an ASCII file, the following command is used:
lpr -Pprinter filename
Files with backspace sequences (i.e. typescripts) should not be sent
directly to a line printer. To eliminate these sequences, filter your
file through col
:
cat file | col -b | lpr
If tabs do not appear right on the printer use expand
to turn them into spaces.
cat file | expand | lpr
