To print a large banner on a printer in Linux or UNIX, you can use the banner
command. The banner
command allows you to create a large banner by printing a given text in a large font.
To use the banner
command, open a terminal window and type banner
followed by the text that you want to print. For example, to print the text "Hello World" as a banner, you would type:
banner Hello World
This will print the banner on your terminal window. To print the banner on a printer, you can use the lp
command to send the banner to the printer. For example, to print the banner on a printer with the name my_printer
, you would type:
banner Hello World | lp -d my_printer
Keep in mind that the banner
command may not be available on all Linux and UNIX systems. If the banner
command is not available on your system, you can use other methods to create and print a large banner, such as using the figlet
command or creating a custom script to generate and print the banner.
