The printer is a Ricoh Aficio MP 7502, which has a Linux driver:
https://www.openprinting.org/printer/Ri ... io_MP_7502
It's a printer on my uni's network, and I'm given the following information:
Code: Select all
Hostname: copier.dept.university.edu
IP Address: XXX.XXX.XX.XX
To print to it, I need to supply
- * username
* password
* lock code
The first two are for authentication over the network, and the lock code is the code I enter once I actually select my print job on the machine. How do I go about installing this printer via CUPS, e.g. the web interface? Or using lpadmin on the terminal? The -U flag on lpadmin appears to govern what
local user account should be used to add the printer, not the
network user account (my uni domain account) that is used to authenticate with the printer itself
I use Cups 2.2.1 on Debian stretch, with only dwm as the window manager. No Gnome, Xfce, etc.
