Using the WURprinter (new MFP's)

The official documentation for this is at: http://www.wur.nl/upload_mm/d/f/f/a0f788b8-d197-4d1d-afb5-80c84bb7b1e9_printing_Linux_UK.pdf

Ubuntu/Debian

(Follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu#Printing_from_Ubuntu )

If you don't have access to the printing dialog, then the shell command:

   system-config-printer

will usually work.

You can download the exact correct ppd from openprinting https://www.openprinting.org/download/PPD/Ricoh/PDF/Ricoh-IM_C4500_PDF.ppd

Adding a printer by using "add a Windows printer via SAMBA", then using

  • smb://scomp5170.wurnet.nl/WURprinter

OR

  • smb://scomp5170.wurnet.nl/WURprinter_Color (for colour)

then:

  • Your WUR login details (wur\user001, passwd).
  • Model: Ricoh IM C 4500

This will ONLY work from a wired, wur-user wifi and eduroam. Only eduroam users will have scomp5170 resolved to a different ip. Nonetheless it will work.

You can (theoretically) use smb://scomp5170 .wur.nl/WURprinter from eduroam connections, but so far this seems not to work properly.


If this does not work, a generic postscript version can be added by adding:

  • smb://scomp5170/WURprinter_PS
  • Your WUR login details (wur\user001, passwd).
  • Model: Generic PostScript Printer

Other Linux

It should be possible to set up CUPS with the above information.
