If the appropriate drivers are not already available by the OS of your computer, you need to download them from the corresponding pages of the manufacturers (OKI, HP, Xerox, Kyocera)

Instructions about installing the printers on OS Linux, Windows and MacOSX are given below.

Installation Instructions for Linux

Open the "Printer Configuration Tool" (or the appropriate tool depending on the distribution you use) from the "Administration → Printing" and click "Add"

In the "Network Printer" select "Internet Printing Protocol (ipp)" and insert the printer’s name (e.g. ipp://lp.physics.uoc.gr/printers/lp2 for lp2) in the appropriate field

If the printer is not automatically recognized by the OS, select the printer from the list that appears and afterwards select the appropriate driver.
Note: for lp3-color, you will need to download a suitable PPD driver from the site of OKI and place it in the directory "/usr/share/cups/model/ " with permissions 644. Besides, you will need to download the appropriate filter, which should be copied into the "/ usr / lib / cups / filter" with 755 permissions and ownership root: root. Both these files are available in a package called "Color_Unix_Linux.tar_tcm3" from the site of OKI

Installation Instructions for MacOSX 10.8+

Open System Preferences and choose Printers & Scanners
Press + (-plus) sign to add the printer
Select the icon IP from the Print & Scan window
In the Adress section enter: lp.physics.uoc.gr:631
In the Protocol section select: Internet Printing Protocol - IPP
In the Queue section enter: /printers/lp2 for lp2 printer
if the automatic installation of the driver fails, then select the appropriate printer driver from Select Software
- if the specific model of the printer or the relevant driver is not listed in the list of printers, select Generic PostScript Printer . In this case, although the printer will function properly, certain specialized functionality will not be available.
click Add to complete the installation

Upon completion of the process, we recommend that you send a test page to the printer to verify that the process is successfully completed.

Installation Instructions for Windows 7+

The basic process for adding printers on Windows 7, 8 and 10 is almost the same. Minor variations in icons may exist. Here we present the process for Windows 10:

Select START and then click on 'Settings'

Then write "printers" and click 'Add a printer or scanner'

Click on 'Add a printer or scanner'

Click on 'The printer that I want is not listed'

Clock 'Select a shared printer by name', and then write "http://lp.physics.uoc.gr:631/printers/lp2" for lp2 printer. Then click 'Next'

Windows will attempt to recognize the printer and install the appropriate driver. If this procedure fails, it will show you a list of printers and potential drivers, from which you should choose the appropriate one for the printer you want to install. If the printer is not listed, you need to download the relevant software from the manufacturer's page and follow the proposed installation process.

Click 'Next'

Select 'Do not share this printer' and then Next

Upon completion of the process, we recommend that you send a test page to the printer to verify that the process has been completed successfully.
