Then tell the cups client on each machine to "Browse" the network. Once thats done, something like:
lp -dNetwork-printer -olandscape filename2print[return] Then go to the printer and get your output, however in landscape + duplex mode, even I at my usual speed, will probably get there and have to wait for the printer to finish. This Brother Color laser is quite slow at duplex, taking 10x the time to turn the paper around as it does to print it. But thats a problem endemic to most duplex capable printers. Usually fixable by throwing enough money at the printer, but one even a $48k Minolta Office copier suffers from. BTDT, gave the Minolta techs a load of static over it too. I wanted to print a 585 page book once, gvmnt regs I needed a fresh copy of, and it quit at page 187 4 times. I wound up running it thru a pdf processor to make 100 page pieces out of it before I got a copy for my shelf. > On 11/4/2015 7:27 AM, John Thornton wrote: > > If he is doing that from a Windoze computer you can configure the > > right click Send To for each machine so it's a one click op to send > > the file. > > > > JT > > > > On 11/4/2015 7:16 AM, Rick Lair wrote: > >> It was an absolute requirement that I got that to work, probably > >> like yours, we now have multiple machines in the shop running > >> Linuxcnc, and thumb drives are easy to lose, so I have all the > >> machines networked together, so the guy in the office that makes > >> the programs, can drop the finished g code program right into the > >> nc_files folder in the respective machine, right from his desk. > >> > >> > >> Rick > >> > >> On 11/4/2015 8:09 AM, John Thornton wrote: > >>> Sweet, and it works!
