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.
