Ubuntu Linux
This method requires Ubuntu 8.10 or above
- To install a network printer in Linux, begin by choosing "Administration" from the pull down menu, then "Printing", as shown.
- Click the "New" button to activate the Add Printer wizard. The wizard will initially search for any printers available on your local subnet. The option to install a network printer is available near the bottom of the list which appears, and is labelled "Windows Printer via SAMBA".
- If you're missing the option, SAMBA is not installed. You can install it via the terminal by openning up a new terminal session and typing:
sudo apt-get install smbclient
- You may be prompted to install some updates, just follow the instructions in the terminal window.
- On the New Printer configuration page, first enter the path to the printer you wish to install. The paths to common public printers are found at the end of this document. When path has been entered, also enter your username and password, in the format shown.
- When you have completed the configuration page, click "Forward." The "Verify" button will fail, but you should still be able to print. If printing does not work, the most likely causes are that the credentials were wrong (missing acadia\ usually), you do not have permission to print on the printer you installed, or you chose the wrong driver.
- The next page of the wizard is the Driver Configuration page. On this page, select a manufacturer appropriate to the printer you are attempting to install, and proceed to the next stage, where you will select the model appropriate to the printer. Make and model of common public printers are found at the end of this document.
- When complete, activate the "Forward" button one final time. This will complete the wizard and add the printer to your device list.
