Printing
To print a Tex file, type 'dvips -Pprintername filename' where filename is the name of your dvi output file as produced by tex.
To print a regular text file, type 'enscript filename' where filename
is the name of your file. 'enscript -Pprintername filename' for a specific
printer; substitute the name of the printer.
To print a PostScript file, type 'lpr -Pprintername filename' where filename is the name of your file. Many mathematical packages with graphic capability can generate PostScript output, such as Matlab, Mathematica, CLAM and NCARG. See the individual handouts for how to do this.

The LaserWriter has three status lights on the right-vertical side of its
shell. Here are the meanings associated with various combinations of the
status lights:
Flashing green light

Steady green light

Single flashing yellow light

Steady yellow light, no green light

the LaserWriter is set for manual feed
Steady red light
paper is jammed in the printer.
When paper runs out, please add more; ask other users if you do not know how.
Do not over-fill the paper tray. Please don't try to clear paper jams; send
mail to bugs@math.ucla.edu and it will be attended to promptly.
