Printing a Document
Printing from Applications
There are a lot of Linux applications that you are allowed to 
print from using Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS). You 
can print on your machine from any such application.
1From the application you are using, select Print from the 
File menu.
2Select Print directly using lpr.
3In the LPR GUI window, select the model name of your 
machine from the Printer list and click 
Properties.
•
Reverse All Pages(3,2,1): When you use this feature, 
you do not need to sort the print-out by stacks. 
4Change the printer and print job properties.
Click.
The following four tabs display at the top of the window.
•
General - allows you to change the paper size, the paper 
type, and the orientation of the documents, enables the 
duplex feature, adds start and end banners, and changes 
the number of pages per sheet.
•
Text - allows you to specify the page margins and set the 
text options, such as spacing or columns.
•
Graphics - allows you to set image options that are used 
when printing images/files, such as color options, image 
size, or image position.
•
Device: allows you to set the print resolution, paper 
source, and destination.
5Click Apply to apply the changes and close the Properties 
window. 
6Click OK in the LPR GUI window to start printing.
7The Printing window appears, allowing you to monitor the 
status of your print job.
To abort the current job, click 
Cancel.
Printing Files
You can print many different types of files on the Samsung 
machine device using the standard CUPS way - directly from 
the command line interface. The CUPS lpr utility allows you do 
that. But the drivers package replaces the standard lpr tool by 
a much more user-friendly LPR GUI program.
To print any document file:
1Ty p e  lpr  from the Linux shell command 
line and press 
Enter. The LPR GUI 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. 
2In the LPR GUI window, select your printer from the list, 
and change the printer and print job properties.
For details about the properties window, see page 33.
3Click OK to start printing.
