cups-m cups-hera
cups-hep cups-uni
cups-xfel cups-z

Here you can chose your server by yourself.
Printing with UNIX / LINUX
The DESY Printers have the same print commandos on all UNIX / LINUX systems, except a few of older AIX - systems :
Send print job
The printing occur on all platforms by a LPD - Daemon. For that there are two commands:
1. lp -P<printername>[@<hostname>] -Z<option> <filename>
2. lp -d<printername>[@<hostname>] -o<option> <filename>
Querly printer status:
For querly the printer status you must enter a command at Terminal. For that there are also two commands:
1. lpq -P<printername>[@<hostname>]
2. lpstat -p<printername>[@<hostname>]
Delete print job
For deleting print jobs there are two different commands:
1. lprm -P<printername> <jobID / all>
2. cancel -p<printername> <jobID / all>
If there is none printername then it will be used the default printer.
