You typically print to a parallel-port printer by copying a file to the lpt1: device. Because USB devices don't connect through an LPT device, you can't take the same approach to print to a USB printer from the command prompt. However, you have several options that will work. If a network adapter is connected to your network, you can share the printer with another machine on the network and map the printer to LPT2 or LPT3. For example, shares the printer on LPT2.

DFP is not able to communicate directly with USB printers. However, your USB printer may have a separate connector for use with a parallel printer cable connected to your computer's LPT port. You may alternately print from DFP to a USB printer that is connected to another computer on your network. Consult the next section for instructions dealing with printing across a network.

The command prompt is a text based application that provides direct interaction with the Unix system. It is similar in context to MSDOS or the Command Prompt window you can bring up on Windows systems. A listing of basic commands with documentation is available at http://www.math.duke.edu/computing/intro.html#BASIC. In general, most things can be done through the graphical user interface. But sometimes we will ask you, or it may be quicker and easier, to use the command prompt. See similar questions...

Not directly. DFP Plus is unable to communicate directly with USB printers. However, your USB printer may have a separate connector for use with a parallel printer cable connected to your computer's LPT port. You may alternately print to a USB printer across a network.

Right-click the title bar of an open command window and click Properties. Set the colors, font, window size, etc. When you Save, you'll be asked whether it applies only to this window or all windows opened using the same shortcut. See similar questions...

Some commands expect more input from the keyboard, but don't necessarily provide prompts to the user. You can type <Ctrl>-D to send an end of file, which will normally end the program, or if that does not work, type <Ctrl>-C which will abort the program. You probably inadvertently typed <Ctrl>-Z, which is the Unix signal to put a program in "background". Type fg to bring the program into the foreground, and continue. See similar questions...

I was curious about this question, because of the number of people who like printing from pine on The ITD Login Service to a local printer, so I wrote a little script that prints a file to the local printer. Currently, to run it, use the command: On a Mac, this will bring up the printer dialogue, and ask you if you're sure. On a PC, it may do any of several things. See similar questions...

Simpliest way: kill -9 'cat pid.Botname' Note the use of backquotes. Change the "Botname" to the name of your bot. If this do not work, telling you "no such process", go ahead: Use the 'ps' utility to find running processes. The syntax differs from Unix to Unix, you can try these, until you find one that works: ps -axu | grep yourusername ps -Af | grep yourusername ps -ef | grep yourusername This will show all your processes that are running. Find your eggdrop and locate the process number. See similar questions...

You can either download the Python source code (from www.python.org) and compile it yourself or you download the file python2.1_macosx.tgz from http://tony.lownds.com/macosx/. If you download the pre-built binary, make sure to follow the install instructions before trying to run FinishInstall.py See similar questions...

Under the "Note" menu. I realize this is a non-standard location. The point is to make it clear that it is the note, not the file, that's going to be printed. See similar questions...

On Solaris 10, this message confuses me. "USB 2.0 device (usbd49,7010) operating at full speed (USB 1.x) on USB 1.10 root hub: storage@2, scsa2usb1 at bus address 2". Please clarify. This means that a USB 2.0 device is connected to a USB1.x hub which is operating at full speed (and not at high speed), because the USB1.x port only support full speed and low speed.

The thumbnail image layout on your screen is dependent on your browser window size. The larger your Web browser window, the more images that fit. If you find printouts of the archive page are being cropped when you print them, try two things. First, set up your printer driver to print in a "Landscape" format (prints across the wide part of a page instead of the narrower part). See similar questions...

Open up the print queue by clicking on Start -> Control Panel -> Printers and Faxes and clicking on the appropriate printer. Make note if there are any documents in the queue that are returning an error status. If there are, try to clear the queue by right clicking on the documents and selecting cancel. If you are unable to clear a queue, please contact Support Services who should be able to clear the queue for you. Once the queue is cleared, try printing to the printer again.

The PROCESS service has a SHELL parameter which specifies that COMMAND should be executed as though you were at a shell prompt. This allows complex commands involving pipelines to be readily executed. Note, if COMMAND and PARMS are both specified they will be concatenated with a space between them, and the resulting string is what will be executed. Unix Command Line Example: STAF local PROCESS START SHELL COMMAND "ps | grep test | wc >testcount.txt" See similar questions...

By example of course this is a sed command line that i whipped up in a few minutes to demonstrate the use one might get for it on the web. Suppose you have determined that you had to replace some tags in a file without effecting any other strings. This is one way of doing it that does work. I am sure that you will find much better uses of amplifying the example. If you do and wish to show me email me at the supplied address anytime. Well so much for buildup here goes a real short example. See similar questions...

You can place a literal newline in quotes, i.e. PROMPT="Hi Joe, what now?%# " If you have the bad taste to set the option cshjunkiequotes, which inhibits such behaviour, you will have to bracket this with unsetopt cshjunkiequotes and setopt cshjunkiequotes, or put it in your .zshrc before the option is set. In recent versions of zsh (not 3.0), there is a form of quoting which interprets print sequences like '\n' but otherwise acts like single quotes: surround the string with $'...'.

A list of driver options specific to that printer will be diplayed. Take note of the options that are of interest to you.

When you evaluate an expression in the interpreter, it has to use some symbol table for looking up the ids you use. What symbol table does it use? The only credible alternatives are: The symbol table of the "current module" Hugs uses the latter (which seems more useful) but you might reasonably expect Hugs to use the export list and wonder why Hugs doesn't seem to implement abstract data types correctly when you do experiments from the command line.
