For Information on printing specific types of file formats on the CIT
printers see the file ``Printing File Formats'' in this directory.

                                 ------

The lpr command :

      lpr [options] {file}...

general options (unchanged in upgrade)
      -P {printer}    select which printer (see printer list). 
                        NOTE: this can also be set with using the PRINTER
                        environment variable in both your .xsession and
                        .login files.
      -T {jobname}    Set title of the print job (see below)
      -r              remove given files after reading them
      -m              mail you when job has completed
      -p              re-format text file through the pr command.


Text formatting options.

    Without any options, the printing system will print `raw' text 
  on the printer. No banners, or other titling is used on the output.
  unless the ``-p'' option above is used.

    The text however will now make full use of the A4 paper we use,
  instead of pushing it all into the lower right corner of the page. This
  was due to the original text to postscript filter thinking it was
  printing on US letter paper. That filter has been replaced with a
  newer modern version of itself.

    Some of the options below is `bannered'. This is performed by the
  ``a2ps'' text to postscript filter, which in many was superior to the
  ``pstext'' filter being used above.  In particular this new filter
  will perform `line-wrapping'. 

      -T {banner}     Change the banner from the default banner of
		               ``loginname -- filename''
			to the banner string you give. This will affect
			ALL the files given on the lpr command line, while
			the default banner will change from file to file.
      -i1             Each page is given a banner and boarder as above.
      -i2             Bannered pages but two pages per output page.
      -i3             Bannered Landscape mode.
      -i4             As -i2 but also passed through multips to provide
                        4 pages per output page.

    NOTE: I did not have the choice of the option letters used above when
  setting up the printers, so print this out and keep it handy.

    Other `i' options may be added in the future. Suggestions for these
  options are welcome and should be directed to myself.
