Printing

I'm trying to print from the Shell Servers. Where are my jobs going?

Check and see what your printer variable is set to by typing the following command in a terminal prompt:

$ echo $PRINTER

The value it returns should tell you where your jobs are set to go. If this command returns the name of a printer that is not nearby then you probably want to change the value. To set your printer only for the current session in a bash shell type at a terminal prompt:

$ export PRINTER=printer_name
