Command-line image printing in Linux

[Gantry]

Is this possible? I would like to be able to print out images (probably jpegs) from the command line, no gui involved. All the lpr switches don't seem to allow for this....

You would probably be able to use ghostscript to convert them to ps first, then print them.

If you have apsfilter installed you can do:

lpr file.jpg



along with lots of other types of file...

I thought most Linux and FREEBSD installed it by default..

cat file.jpg | jpegtopnm | pnmtops | lp

you'll need netpbm package that to work.

JPEG? Guess you weren't interested in the banner command... hehe

I think that LPRng and CUPS will handle JPEGs directly...

Correct me if I am wrong.
