Printing from Ubuntu laptops

This guide is made using Ubuntu 10.04 and 11.04. We're using the menues and the graphical interface, but it can of course be done from a terminal as well.

To print, you have to be connected to NTNU's network, either using wireless network, a network cable or VPN.

1. Click System, and then Administration and Printing. Click Add printer.
2. Choose Windows printer via Samba.
3. In the field behind smb://, write leonardo.math.ntnu.no/<name of printer>. The name of the printer can be found at printers.
4. Check "Set authentication details now", and enter win-ntnu-no\<username> and your password. Click Forward.
   
5. Dependent of your choice:
   
   1. HP
      1. Use "Select printer from database". Choose "HP" and click Forward. Choose model LaserJet P4015, and click Forward.
         
      2. If the wizard asks you about "Duplexer installed", leave it unchecked.
      3. Ubuntu suggests to name it HP-LaserJet-p4015. You might want to change that to the name from the above table, to remember which one it is.
   2. Xerox
      1. Use "Select printer from database". Choose "Xerox" and click Forward. The models we have at the department aren't listed, but it still works if you select model WorkCenter 7345. Click Forward
      2. Ubuntu suggests to name it Xerox-WorkCentre-7345. You might want to change that to the name from the above table, to remember which one it is.
6. Click Apply, and you're done! Print a test page if you feel like it, and are able to pick it up.
