| + | ====== Printing ====== | ||
| + | There are two uPrint cards available to the lab in the North Wing: | ||
| + | * amni16 → NW145 | ||
| + | * amni22 → NW136 | ||
| + | |||
| + | Note: It is important that these cards are returned immediately after usage. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Linux Workstation ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Printing Using the Command Line ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | To get a list of available printers: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | lpstat -a | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Example output: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | McGill_Color_cups_ncs_mcgill_ca accepting requests since Tue 02 Jul 2019 12:09:33 AM EDT | ||
| + | McGill_Mono_Printers_cups_ncs_mcgill_ca accepting requests since Tue 02 Jul 2019 12:09:34 AM EDT | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | If no printers are listed, then restart the ''cups'' services: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | sudo systemctl restart cups | ||
| + | sudo systemctl restart cups-browsed | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | To print, you will need to specify the following options in the ''lp'' command: | ||
| + | * -U //user// | ||
| + | * -d //printer// | ||
| + | |||
| + | Example: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | lp -U amni22 -d McGill_Mono_Printers_cups_ncs_mcgill_ca file-to-print.pdf | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Printing Using the GUI ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Note: Printing using this method has not been tested thoroughly yet and therefore may be buggy. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Printing from the GUI on your Linux workstation requires additional configurations. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 1. Set the default printer: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | lpoptions -d McGill_Mono_Printers_cups_ncs_mcgill_ca | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | 2. Then set the default username: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | echo 'USER amni22' >> ~/.cups/client.conf | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | 3. Restart the ''cups'' services: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | sudo systemctl restart cups | ||
| + | sudo systemctl restart cups-browsed | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Laptop ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you own a laptop and wish to print from it using uPrint, you will need to install the uPrint drivers first: [[http://kb.mcgill.ca/it/easylink/article.html?id=2658|How to install uPrint drivers for your OS]] | ||
