Overview
Requirement: Printing out of UNIX and Linux environment
Printing out of UNIX and Linux environment can be a headache. In these operating systems, generic printing is easy, but accessing device-specific features such as multiple paper input trays or addressable output bins is quite difficult. Most casual UNIX users regard lp and lpr as black holes into which print jobs disappear, and may or may not emerge. Most users print to the closest printer, and keep on submitting the job until they see it.
Solution: Professional Printing out of UNIX and Linux
The common printing methods now supported by Konica Minolta MFP break down barriers to printing by providing access to these device-specific features through graphical user interfaces or more conventional command line entries. A better model for printing is that the workstation processes everything, and submits finalized data to the printer when it first becomes available. The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) offer the UNIX and Linux user graphical interfaces as alternatives to the arcane command line prompt commands associated with printing in these systems. Konica Minolta MFP customers can now choose the printing environment they prefer when using either UNIX or Linux.
