The only difference is that step 3 should be "SAMBA" and step 4 should be ".ac.uk/SharpHold", for example. The details are nigh on identical to centrally managed machines.
Self managed machines/Laptops or the SharpHold queue If you find a permanent fix for this, please comment on this article. In the printers menu, right click on the icon for the printer and 'enable'. On Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) the printers start disabled. If IT have set the printer up, it may be available on either the "PCOUNTER2" server or on "printserver圆4" server. You can add any printer to a Linux machine, but you will need the correct ppd (driver) file from the manufacturers website, connection and authentication details. Once the ppd file is selected, Click "Forward"Ĭentrally managed machines and other printers.For private or group printers, the appropriate printer drivers should be located and downloaded from the manufacturer website.For public printers, the drivers for the printer model will already be available under /etc/cups/ppd/, eg for DWBSharpL^ select /etc/cups/ppd/Sharp-MX-5500N.ppd.For the "choose driver" dialogue, Select "Provide a PPD file".Under "Network Printer", there should be the option "LPD/LPR Host or Printer".This is a button right near the bottom of the Printing settings dialogue.
In Ubuntu 18.04 and above, choose "Additional Printer Settings.".Click "System", "Administration", "Printing" or search for "Printing" and choose the settings for this.Note: For SharpHold, please use the "Samba" instructions below. Centrally managed machines and sharp printersĬentrally managed machines can connect to printers using lpd, which we have found to be more reliable than Samba for all printers except SharpHold.
