To print a Web page, typically you should be able to simply click the "Print" button on your Web browser. However, this often produces mathematical formulae of poor quality. Many ME Web pages have a Postscript version that produces better looking output, if you can manage to print them out. They will also cost you less of your print page quota.

To print from the terminals in A205, first save the postscript file, maybe using the "Save this Link as..." on your right mouse button. Save the file to your Unix disk. That is the disk named like "my_name on koala2". Remember the name of the file that you saved.

Now you will need to print this file. First you will need to run telnet and log on to your Unix account. Either click on the "Check e-mail using pine" icon, or in the "Start" menu, select "Run" and type in telnet dingo.eng.famu.fsu.edu".

Now that you are logged on, do ls to check that the saved file is really there. There are two possibilities:

1. The saved file name is of the form filename.zip. (Where filename will vary but is often "index".) In this case, after saving the link, you must run an unzip utility on the file before printing. Under Unix (telnet), issue the command unzip -jL filename.zip. This should produce filename.ps. Do ls again to see that it is there.
2. The filename is of the form filename.ps. No unzip is needed. This case is rare.

Next print the file filename.ps (not .zip) on any printer that can handle Postscript. Last time we looked, (1/8/02), you could print Postscript files on the COE computer lab printer using:

      lpr -Pkoala2:lexlab1 filename.ps

If you want to print the file at home on your own printer, the steps are similar. But now you will of course save filename.zip to your C drive. Then, to unzip it under DOS run pkunzip, under Windows Winzip or similar. (See www.yahoo.com or similar if you do not have these.)

If your Windows printer is not a Postscript printer, (and most are not), you need to get the GSview software. See http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/index.htm for more info. Having installed GSview, you just run it, open filename.ps, and select print from the file menu.
