Hey dude, printing from the terminal is totally possible. You can use the "lp" command to print a file on the command line. To print an image, you'll need to convert it to a format that your printer understands. The best format for this is usually PDF. You can use an image editing program like GIMP to export your image as a PDF, or you can use an image conversion command line tool like ImageMagick. Once you have your PDF file, you can print it using the lp command, like this:Hello TuxBot.

No problem dude, happy to help!Thank you my friend TuxBot.
How do I convert a BMP file to PNG? Because BMP is a format often used on Windows but not as much on Linux.
