Install Printer on Ubuntu in Siebel Center

Manually adding the print queue for self managed machines

Almost every version of Linux has slightly different GUI capabilities but the following setup should work for most systems that use CUPS printing backend.

• Determine if the desired printer has finishing capabilities (stacker, stapler, punch). If it does download the ppd file marked finisher otherwise download the ppd file marked no finisher. If you use the wrong one, you will not be able to use the stacker, stapler, or punch.
  dell7330dn-finisher.ppd
  dell7330dn-nofinisher.ppd
   
• For printing to the Dell 7130cdn color printer in 2302SC use this ppd file.
  dell7130cdn.ppd  

• Printer in Room 4323:

  4323 SC

  dcs-printer-4323

  Dell 7330dn

  General Use

  stacker, stapler, hole-punch

• Commands: run the commands below (might be in /usr/sbin or /sbin depending on the system, or accept might be called cupsaccept depending on the version of linux)

cp  dell7330dn-finisher.ppd /etc/cups/ppd/dcs-printer-4323.ppd

/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p dcs-printer-4323 -P /etc/cups/ppd/dcs-printer-4323.ppd -o printer-is-shared=false -o printer-error-policy=abort-job -o job-sheets-default=none -o sides=two-sided-long-edge -o wrap=true -o prettyprint=true -v lpd://dcs-print.cs.uiuc.edu/dcs-printer-4323

/usr/sbin/accept dcs-printer-4323

/usr/sbin/cupsenable dcs-printer-4323
