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> 
      lpadmin -p <printer-name> -E -v ipp://print-mac.math.uzh.ch:631/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://print-mac.math.uzh.ch:631/printers/<printer-name> \
  -m raw \
  -o auth-info-required=username,password
Authentication

  • Setup: After adding a printer, upon the first print-job do the following:
  1. Open "Settings" -> "Printers", then search for the printer on which you sent the job 
  2. Click on "1 Job"

Troubleshooting

    You may have discovered that all the Insitute Printers are listed in the print-dialog "General"- Tab, even if you haven't added them.
      Printing on them will not work, since there is no way to authenticate!
