This article will show you how to set up printing in the residence-halls for computers running Linux-based operating systems.
All 鶹Ƶ residence halls have HP Laserjet 4350 printers. Most Linux distributions should have the drivers installed already. To check, you can see if a file exists here: /usr/share/ppd/openprinting/HP/HP_LaserJet_4350.ppd.gz.
Adding a residence hall printer on most distributions
This procedure should work with distributions that use system-config-printer. Such distributions include Fedora 9, Ubuntu 8.04, and later distributions running the GNOME desktop.
- Go to "System > Administration > Printing".
- Click "New".
- Select "Other".
- In the box on the right, enter the URL corresponding to the printer you wish to add from the table below.
- Click next.
- When it asks for the model of printer, select HP and LaserJet 4350. Use the default choice for the driver.
- Enter a name for the printer (note that this cannot contain spaces) but can be anything you want, description, and location.
| Printer | URI |
|---|---|
| Sohre | lpd://mcjoker.gac.edu/SohreLabPrinter |
| Southwest | lpd://mcjoker.gac.edu/SouthwestLabPrinter |
| Uhler | lpd://mcjoker.gac.edu/UhlerLabPrinter |
| Arbor View East | lpd://mcjoker.gac.edu/ArborViewEastLabPrinter |
| Arbor View West | lpd://mcjoker.gac.edu/ArborViewWestLabPrinter |
| College View | lpd://mcjoker.gac.edu/CollegeViewLabPrinter |
| Gibbs | lpd://mcjoker.gac.edu/GibbsLabPrinter |
| International Center | lpd://mcjoker.gac.edu/ICLabPrinter |
| Norelius | lpd://mcjoker.gac.edu/NoreliusLabPrinter |
| North | lpd://mcjoker.gac.edu/NorthLabPrinter |
| Pittman | lpd://mcjoker.gac.edu/PittmanLabPrinter |
| Prairie View | lpd://mcjoker.gac.edu/PrairieViewLabPrinter |
| Rundstrom | lpd://mcjoker.gac.edu/RundstromLabPrinter |
If your distribution does not use system-config-printer, the procedure will differ from the above instructions. It should be close, though.
