Printing
========
Get a list of available printers
--------------------------------
To get a list of all printers, with details::
$ lpstat -p
just the list of all available destinations on the local network::
$ lpstat -e
the current default one::
$ lpstat -d
Printing in greyscale
---------------------
To get the list of options available for your printer use::
$ lpoptions [-p <printer_name>] -l
there will be a line like (note that different printers may have a more
specific option that you need to enable)::
ColorModel/Print Color Mode: Gray *RGB
and then you'll have to add ``-o ColorModel=Gray`` to the ``lpr``
command line, e.g.::
$ lpr -o ColorModel=Gray <filename>
File Preparation
================
Converting spreadsheet files to PDF
-----------------------------------
Using the command ``ssconvert`` from Gnumeric::
ssconvert <source_filename> <destination>.pdf
works with any format supported by Gnumeric, including of course ``xls``
and ``ods``.
