It may, on occasion, be convenient to work from a printout of the
assignments as opposed to reading your browser directly. To get a
printout, choose the "print" option of the "File" button on your
browser (I am assuming you use Netscape Navigator). It will pop
up a small window, giving you the option to print directly to
the printer or to write to a (postscript) file. Choose the latter
by clicking on the "File" button. This will cause the "File name:"
input box to focus, with the default filename netscape.ps.
Next click the "Print" button at the bottom left of the window.
Finally, go to an xterm window, cd back to your
home directory, and type
mprint netscape.psthen you have to choose a printer (options 5 or 7 are the LaserJets in the South Physics 205 Computer lab).
There are simpler ways of doing this, such as dumping to the printer directly from the browser. Be careful though, the default printer may not be in South Physics. Also, it is generally a good idea to dump stuff from the web into a file first, since some pages resolve to a huge amount of postscript data and can clog up a print queue.
