§ 9: Printing Over a Network

A prime consideration when printing a file is whether its format is compatible with the printer. The wrong format can easily give hundreds of useless pages. A rule of thumb is that if you can't read the file on your screen, then the printer probably won't either. Yet, the file type and printer type must match perfectly to get the output just right.

In this section we will look at two printable formats, text and Postscript, and one unprintable format, executable. We'll also look at ways to check and change the status of your documents on the print queue.
