I think in the octopus we have a print device that used the underlying =
default printer.
It should be in /mnt/print or /mnt/terms/yourmachinename/print

Take a look to the start scripts to see if print is starting or printing =
some diagnostics.

So, cp afile.pdf /mnt/print
should print it there.

Ah, if you don't see
/mnt/print/ndb

then you don't have a printer running and mounted at /mnt/print.


What Lyndon said is also true, btw. I'm not saying it's not.
Only that you can also wrap non-native devices with little
file servers, as in this case.
