increase font size for Java

To increase the font size for Java applications, add a parameter such as "--fontsize 14" to the option list with which the application is started.

For ThinkingRock this is done by adding "--fontsize 14" to the variable called 'default_options' in the file 'tr.conf'.

printer default color mode

To change the default color mode used when printing in Linux by applications such as Firefox, run first the command "lpoptions -l | grep Color" to get the relevant options. Example output:

CNColorMode/Color Mode: *Auto color mono

To change the default color mode to 'Black & White' for ALL printers run then the following command (it can also be done on a per printer basis using the option '-p' of the command "lpoptions"):

lpoptions -o CNColorMode=mono

The color mode can be set to 'Color' when needed through the print options dialogue.
