Printing Files

You can print many different types of files on the Dell MFP device using the standard CUPS way - directly from the command line interface. The CUPS lpr utility
enables you do that. But the drivers package replaces the standard lpr tool by a much more user-friendly Dell LPR program.
To print any document file:
1. Type lpr <file_name> from the Linux shell command line and press Enter. The Dell LPR window appears.
When you type only lpr and press Enter, the Select file(s) to print window appears first. Just select any files you want to print and click Open.
2. In the Dell LPR window, select your printer from the list, and change the printer and print job properties.
