Using the Network X Print Manager

NXpr, written by Lance Lovette, is a Motif interface for the lpr command. It was created to help conserve print quota by allowing a user to print a file with different fonts, smaller font sizes and multiple page formats with various attributes, such as page numbers.

To use this print manager:

1. Type nxpr & at the system prompt.
2. Select a file to print from the dialog box that appears.
3. Choose the desired options (e.g., font, layout).

Extensive online help is provided for this program. Select Help at the top right of the NXpr window. Then select Index to bring up a scrollable dialog box that provides help on the functions and options in NXpr.
