   • It is recommended to install the Canon Postscript driver for imageRunner Advance printers.

1. Check the status of a printer by running the command: `lpq [options] _queue` where `lpq` shows printer queue status, `-P` specifies a printer and `_queue` idicates the printer's name e.g. `lpq -P _744`,
2. If the output is ready, then run `lpr -P _queue file-path` where `lpr` command indicates print files, e.g. `lpr -P _744 Path/to/file.pdf`.
3. To view the information status of a print job(s) use `lpstat` command:
   • i.e., `lpstat -W [option] -o _queue -u username`
   • to view completed or not-completed jobs use -W follow by your selection -this option must have to appear before -o option or any queue name e.g. -W completed,
   • to list the jobs queued in a given printer use -o option follow by the _queue e.g. -o _958_large,
   • to specify jobs completed or not-completed by a username use -u follow by username e.g. -u myusername.
4. In particular run lpstat -W completed/notcompleted -o _958_large -u myusername.
5. To cancel a printing job in queue use cancel command follow by a job listed in queue run lpstat -W not-completed -o _queue -u username,
6. from the output, the first column denotes the name of the job in the e.g. _958_large-15.

Tex dvi Files

With dvi files you can run dvips in such a way that the text is centered on the page (but not shrunk to fit). This can be done by the following command: `dvips -P744 -O 3mm,-9mm file.dvi`

PDF Files

Adobe ReaderTM (acroread) is capable of printing A4 documents to letter size, by shrinking the image to fit the smaller page height. To do this (assuming you have a pdf file), run Adobe Reader with command: `acroread file.pdf `. When the file is showing up, type Control-P to pop up a print window. In the area marked "Page Handling" there is a selection for "Page Scaling." Make sure it is set for "Shrink to printable area."

Earnings Statements(Pay Stubs)

If earnings statements (pay stubs) are provided as pdf files with the A4 paper size. These can be printed using acroread as above, but for a little nicer result (less shrinkage) it is better to save it to a file and use the command: `pdftops payadvice.pdf - | lpr`.

PostScript Files (.ps)

PostScript files with A4 page size can be printed by first converting them to pdf format, and then printing the file using the procedure outlined above.
To convert PostScript files to pdf format, use command: `ps2pdf file.ps file.pdf`.

You can then follow the above directions for printing file.pdf using Acrobat Reader. An alternative method, not guaranteed, is to put the following invocation near the beginning of the file: `8 -25 translate`. Or, in the case of dvips output: `/bop-hook{8 -25 translate} bind def`.
