Setting Up Your Printer for Environmental Genomics at the Thematic Programme Data Centre

This guide provides essential steps for setting up printers in the Environmental Genomics Thematic Programme Data Centre. It outlines the five main types of printers—local, UNIX networked (lpd), Windows networked (SAMBA), Novell networked (NCP), and JetDirect networked (HP)—and emphasizes the importance of identifying your printer type and its IP address. For JetDirect printers, follow step-by-step instructions using `sudo printconf-gui` to configure your printer effectively. If issues arise, feel free to contact our helpdesk for troubleshooting assistance.

  2. Environmental Genomics Thematic Programme Data Centre http://envgen.nox.ac.uk Setting up the printer • This process is known to be problematic for some people. • There are 5 main types of printer: • local (attached to the physical machine) • UNIX networked printer (lpd) • Windows networked printer (SAMBA) • Novell networked printer (NCP) • JetDirect networked printer (HP) • It is important to determine which one you are using before you set it up! If the machine is connected via ethernet cable to a network point - it probably has an IP address. Make sure you know it, and the correct model number of the printer.

  3. Environmental Genomics Thematic Programme Data Centre http://envgen.nox.ac.uk Step by step - JetDirect • Most people we deal with are attempting to set up JetDirect printers - attached to a LAN with an IP address. • sudo printconf-gui • “New” • Follow the onscreen instructions! • Queue name can be anything • Printer IP: 192.171.160.227 • You must use the “Raw Print Queue” - trust us that this works better than selecting a printer driver. YMMV with other printer setups. If you have trouble that your local IT staff can't aid with contact the helpdesk and we will try and troubleshoot it. • Print a postscript test page from the “Test” menu.
