# 7.6. Printing

As KDevelop is designed to give developers the best access to files and information to reduce development cycles, it also contains a new printing utility which makes use of two common printing programs available for Unix-Systems, a2ps (ASCII-to-Postscript) and enscript . Besides these, you can also print by directly using lpr (the lineprinter device). As using a2ps or enscript offers the most options towards printing , you should install either one of these on your system; both programs are usually shipped with distributions, so you shouldn't have any problem to get them. But before printing , you should have a look at the available configuration dialog s to prepare the output according to your needs. The following section describes how to configure KDevelop for printing files.

## 7.6.1. Configuring the Printer

The printing programs can both be configured by selecting "Print" from the "File"-menu ; on the printing dialog, select the program by the drop-down-menu in the left upper corner. Then press the "Options" button on the right. This opens the configuration for the selected program that will be used. Another way to configure the programs are selecting "Printer Configuration..." from the "Options"-menu; then select "a2ps " or "enscript ".

### 7.6.1.1. The a2ps Configuration Options
