Printer installation on external Linux devices

The most important requirement for printing from a personal inux laptop is an active windows account in the domain Astrophysik.

• Create the directory ".cups" in your home directory.
  mkdir ~/.cups
• Create the file ~/.cups/client.conf with your prefered editor and add the following line:
  ServerName nisprint.aip.de:631/version=1.1
• If your local username differs from your aip username, append the following line:
  User YOUR_AIP_USERNAME_HERE
• After modifying the file please log out and back in for the change to take effect.

Now there is the printer AIP-MFP-color available in the list of your printers.

If you do not already have a PIN/card for printing, the PIN will be sent to your e-mail after the first print job. You can get your printer card at the IT-Service's Office at SH 007. Please bring your printer PIN with you.
