Printing from vet

SAS users on the vet machine have many printers available for directing
their output to. Users can review a list of defined printers by 
entering the command: "/usr/sbin/lsvirprt "                       

The printers currently accessible from vet are:

When you have determined which printer you are most likely to use, 
you should set it up as your default printer.  To define a default
printer for your environment, enter the command:
  " setenv LPDEST printername ".  for example, to use the 
docuprint printer as your default you can issue the following 
command or set it in your shell startup file:
  " setenv LPDEST docuprint "   
NOTE: Printers are known by their PRINT QUEUE name.

The print command in AIX is "lpr -Pprintername file.to.print".  Mainframe
users might want to make an alias for this command to the corresponding
mainframe "print" command.  To do so, add the following alias statement 
to your shell startup file (such as .cshrc for C shell):
    alias print 'lpr -Pmyprinter"

If you need access to other printers from vet, please send a note to 
statlab@rice.edu
with information on the printer you require access to.
