# The pilprint Utility

Print an image to any PostScript level 1 printer. The image is centred on the page, with the filename (minus path and extension) written above it. Output is written to standard output.

        $ pilprint lena.tif | lpr -h

You can use the `-p` option to print directly via `lpr` and `-c` to print to a colour printer (otherwise, a colour image is translated to greyscale before being sent to the printer).
