| {{{#!wiki caution '''This page is currently being edited''' An Administrator is updating this page. Please note that as long as this notice is visible, information on this page may be '''inaccurate, incomplete and subject to change'''. Proceed with caution. }}} ## page was renamed from InstallingMacPrinter = Setting up the VPP printers for a Macintosh client = <<TableOfContents(2)>> == 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). {{attachment:addprintercool.png}} 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) ==== First of all, download the PPD that fits the printer you wish to use: ||Printer name ||Driver file || ||ETZSPEZ-HPZ6100 ||[[attachment:ISGvppHPZ6100.ppd]] || ||ETZSPEZ-X7760 ||[[attachment:ISGvppX7760.ppd]] || ||STWC-LANIER ||[[attachment:ISGvppLAN5645.ppd]] || ||ISGEE-LANIER, ETFC-LANIER ||[[attachment:ISGvppLAN124C3.ppd]] || ||all other printers ||[[attachment:VPPA3_01.PPD]] || After that, install the printer by following the instructions below: ||'''No.''' || '''Step''' || '''Picture''' || ||1||Open "Print & Fax" Preference Pane. || {{attachment:sl_shot01.png}} || ||2||Press the small '+'-Button in lower left area of the preference pane. || {{attachment:sl_shot02.png}} || ||3||Press ''IP'' at the top of the new window. || {{attachment:sl_shot03.png}} || ||4||Change the ''Protocol'' dropdown to ''Internet Printing Protocol - IPP''. || {{attachment:sl_shot04.png}} || ||5||Set ''Address'' to '''ipp2vpp.ee.ethz.ch'''. The name of the Queue '''always begins with "''printer/'''''", the second part is constructed from '''the printer's location and name separated by a dash''', all '''lowercase'''. Valid locations and printer names can be looked up here: [[http://www.vppspy.ethz.ch/tools/vpplist.php|VPP Destination List]]. You can choose ''Name'' and ''Location'' freely, but it's a real good idea to enter something meaningful, so you recognize the Printer later on. || {{attachment:sl_shot05.png}} || ||6||Choose ''Other...'' for the dropdown under ''Print Using''. || {{attachment:sl_shot06.png}} || ||7||In the File Dialog, choose the PPD you downloaded earlier. || ''(none)''|| ||8||If you've done everything correctly, the new printer is now listed in the preference pane. || {{attachment:sl_shot07.png}} || ==== 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). 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]]. |
