You should be able to print any text file on Unix to the default printer using:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;lp file_name<br />
<br />
Do you want the file numbers to be added by the print command, or are they alredy in your file?<br />

I looked at this on my system and it is nearly right but not quite. There may have been a typo. Also this adds nicer formatting.<br />
<br />
cat filename | awk '{print NR &quot;: &quot;&nbsp;$0}' | lp<br />

Using HP-UX with HP printers there is not normally a problem<br />
printing files with line numbers, i.e. lp filename works fine. &nbsp; However, &nbsp;with QMS printers I've seen them get confused in that the printer thinks the file is HPGL, but it's not and the result is no print or an error printout. &nbsp;In this case, use:<br />
<br />
lp -oPCL filename <br />
<br />
This tells the printer to use the HP PCL language which should handle any ascii files.<br />

printing a file

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
