Printing from a Linux Laptop
With the various distributions and releases of Linux, we cannot provide specific instructions that will work for everyone. In general, however, the following should work.
- View the list of PrinterList for the Printer/Queue name of the printer you would like to add.
- Add a printer to your system, using the following settings.
- The "Connection Type" should be LPD/LPR
- The "Device URI" should be, for example, lpd://cups.lns.cornell.edu/w207_xrx_3450. In some configuration tools, this is created by setting the printer's "Hostname" to cups.lns.cornell.edu and the "Printername" or "Queue name" to w207_xrx_3450.
- The printer "Make" should be Generic, and the "Model" should be PostScript Printer.
