download ps-file to printer

[ogg]

hi folks!

i want to download a ps (postscript) file to a printer. the printer is already installed in the printcenter. how can i do that?

lp -d printername filename

You can skip the -d printername if you only have one printer installed, or you're printing to the default printer. Ofcourse, this is assuming that your printer is a postscript printer. If it's not, it will just print out a bunch of garbage
