A command line script to print wirelessly in the Oden Intitute at UT Austin from Linux, Mac, or Windows (if you're running Windows Subsystem for Linux).
Clone this repository, then place the contents of oden_print.sh
in your .bashrc
or .profile
file and re-source
that file or start a new terminal session.
Avoid the need to specify a workstation and printer for every print by:
- replacing
[email protected]
with your sysnet username and machine (for example[email protected]
) - replacing
default_printer
with your default printer's name (for examplecp3se
)
Avoid the need to enter your remote user password for SSH by setting up an SSH keypair.
Typical usage for users who have done minimal and maximal set up are
# minimal
oden_print -m [email protected] -p cp3se file.pdf
# maximal
oden_print file.pdf
Use oden_print -h
for a full help message.
The script sends files and print commands to an Oden workstation over a multiplexed SSH connection. Multiplexing allows you to authenaticate once, even if you don't have a keypair.
If you have any trouble with the script or have any improvements let me know.
