Setting up the VPP printers for an ISG.EE-Managed Mac Client

/!\ This method works only on Macs which are connected at D-ITET to the ETH network.

For your convenience, all Printers are automatically available on your Mac. Just hit "Print" in any Application you wish to print from. When the Device you wish to print to doesn't appear in the Dropdown, just select Add Printer... (see Image below for an example).

You may then select the device you need from the List in the new window, and press "Add". That's it.

Setting up a printer for an unmanaged Mac Client (private laptops etc.)

There are two methods to setup the printer we provide with our services:

First Method: Install some printers with the provided PPD file (recommended for most users)

Printer name

Driver file

ISGvppHPZ6100.ppd

ETZSPEZ-X7760

VPPA3_01_X7760.PPD

ISGEE-LANIER, ETFC-LANIER

ISGvppLAN124C3.ppd

all other printers

VPPA3_01.PPD

After that, install the printer by following the instructions below:

No.

Second Method: Install all printers using cupsd.conf modifications (for advanced users)

This method allows you to print to D-ITET printers on your private Mac as if it were a managed client (see above).

  • /!\ To use this method, your computer must be connected to the D-ITET ETH network (e.g. public LAN socket, VPN Connection).

Edit  /etc/cups/cupsd.conf  as user  root . Add/modify the following lines: 

    Browsing On
    BrowseProtocols cups
    BrowseAllow ipp2vpp.ee.ethz.ch
    BrowsePoll ipp2vpp.ee.ethz.ch
    BrowsePort 631

Save the  cupsd.conf  file and restart the cups service:

  • OSX Tiger:  /System/Library/StartupItems/PrintingServices/PrintingServices restart 

  • OSX Leopard:  launchctl stop org.cups.cupsd ; launchctl start org.cups.cupsd 

If you want to start printing now, go on reading the article Printing/VPPPrinting/Mac.
