About printers

• You can find your printer's hostname and model from Printer Locations.

• All of the printers support PostScript option, so using them as PostScript printer is possible.

• Printing is also possible with Xerox's native driver.

• When using PS, the printer settings can be managed more finely.
  If that doesn't work you can try using Xerox's native driver that doesn't allow as much control as PS.

• Regarding supported options refer to here .

Outline of how to setup a printer

Setting up by using PS

The steps will differ between different distributions, so this will only be general outline.

• Use PPD file and set up the printer as PS printer.

  For the PPD file refer to here

• Linux communicates with printers using 「LPD/LPR」 protocol.
  For printer address use the name of the printer ＋".rcnp.osaka-u.ac.jp".
  For example "A3C3370" would be "A3C3370.rcnp.osaka-u.ac.jp".
  

  For queue use "PS".

• Regarding supported options refer to here .

• It's possible that the printer will give 「116-703」 error when printing.
  This is PostScript syntax error and varies between printer versions.
  In this case try using different kind of printer.
  If even this doesn't help try various output settings.

Setting up by Using Xerox's native printer driver

Set up Linux printer driving referring to user manual.

User manual, driver, etc. can be found from links below.
