Adding Printers

Institute
  • Info: Insitute Printers are the ones named after certain rooms (where the printer is located) e.g k30, h52 etc.
  • Setup: Open a Terminal and type the following command: 
    • Make sure to insert the real printer name (e.g "k30") in the place holder <printer-name> 
      sudo lpadmin -p <printer-name> -E -v ipp:ipps://print-mac.math.uzh.ch:631/443/printers/<printer-name> -m everywhere
UPP 
  • Info: UPP Printers are the ones located on k and j floor (public) e.g k, j, kcolor, jcolor (they support booklet printing)
  • Setup: Open a Terminal and type the following command:
    • Make sure to insert the real printer name (e.g "kcolor") in the place holder <printer-name>  
      sudo lpadmin -p <printer-name> -E \
  -v ipp:ipps://print-mac.math.uzh.ch:631/443/printers/<printer-name> \
  -m raw \
  -o auth-info-required=username,password
Authentication
  • Info: Both Institute & UPP Printers require LDAP-Authentication in order to print. (IMATH-Credentials)
  • Setup: After adding a printer, the first print-job will not ask to authenticate (won't print), just print it again. On the second attempt, you will be prompted for your IMATH-Credentials (same as for MY, MADE, Thinlinc)
    • Make sure to tick the box "Remember password", so you will never be prompted for credentials on this printer again.
