							Using Your Printer in Linux
26
The Properties tab allows you to change the default 
printer settings.
NOTE: Regular users are able to override the system-wide 
default settings defined by the administrator. When a regular 
user clicks 
Apply, these custom settings will be saved in the 
user’s profile and may be used later with LLPR. If the 
administrator is running the configuration tool, then the 
settings will be saved as the new global defaults.
Changing LLPR Properties
You can fine-tune the printer’s properties by opening the LLPR 
Properties window.
To open the LLPR Properties window:
1From the application you are using, select the Print 
command. 
2When the Linux LPR window opens, click Properties.
Click Properties.
You can also open the LLPR Properties window in the 
following ways:
•From the Startup Menu icon at the bottom of the screen, 
select 
Linux Printer, and then Linux LPR.
•If the Linux Printer Configuration window is currently 
open, select 
Test Print from the Print menu.
3The LLPR Properties window opens. 
You will see the following six tabs at the top of the 
window:
•
General - allows you to change the paper size, the paper 
type, the paper source, the orientation of the documents, 
enable the duplex feature, add start and end banners, 
and change the number of pages per sheet.
•
Margins - allows you to specify the page margins. The 
graphics on the right show the current settings. These 
margins do not apply when printing regular PostScript 
data.
•
Image - allows you to set image options that will be used 
when printing image files, i.e., when a non-PostScript 
document is passed to LLPR on the command line. Color 
settings will also take effect for postscript documents. 
•
Text - allows you to select the text density and turn the 
syntax coloring on or off.
•
HP-GL/2 - allows you to set default options to print HP-
GL/2 format documents, used by some plotters.
•
Advanced - allows you to override the default settings 
for the printer.
If you click the 
Save button at the bottom of the window, 
the options will be retained between LLPR sessions.
Use the 
Help button to view details about the options in 
the window.
4To apply the options, click OK in the LLPR Properties 
window. You will return to the Linux LPR window. To start 
printing, click 
OK.
