Printer
There is a printer at N 214 🐧.
- username:
ufal
- password:
trojnici
.
The easiest option is to print from a USB drive.
If you wish to print from your own computer, here are the official instructions (you can find these in Czech also on the paper next to the printer):
- Enter
bizhub C250i
in the field *Hledat podle názvu produktu“ (find by product name) - Choose operating system and install the package.
- The printer is available at
tiskarna.n.mff.cuni.cz
- You have to fill in the username and password in your printer settings.
However, these instructions may not work. This is a manual from Rudolf who was able to install the drivers on Ubuntu:
- This is the approach that worked for me:
- This is the download centre: https://www.konicaminolta.cz/cs-cz/support/download-centre
- You search for bizhub C250i
- You download a driver which is a set of two tar.gz files and a PDF manual
- You unpack the KM…tar.gz file:
tar -xvzf KMbeuUXv1_22_multi_language.tar.gz
- You sudo run the instalation script in the unpacked folder:
cd KM*; sudo ./install.pl
- You restart cups:
sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
- You go to your printers setup and install the network printer by specifying its address tiskarna.n.mff.cuni.cz
- You select the driver for it. Although the printer is “bizhub C250i”, according to the manual the correct driver is “KMbeuC750iux.ppd bizhub C750i series”; if you have multiple fitting drivers, the correct one should be the one with “BEU” in its name (mine ends “BEU v1.0”
- Now you need to set up username and password. It should be possible through the system dialogs but it wasn't for me, so I had to use CUPS in the web browser internface. Also my CUPS would not allow me to do any changes to the printers so I first had to persuade CUPS to allow me to do that:
sudo vim /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
- Comment out/remove any lines starting `AuthType` or `Require user`, and change lines with
Order deny,allow
toOrder allow,deny
- Save
- Restart CUPS:
sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
- (All the previous steps are only needed if the web interface does not let you do the changes you need to do. Also I don't understand it at all so very probably there is another way than turning off all the security measures completely…)
- Go to the web administration of CUPS, go to Printers and find the right printer and click it, this should get you here: http://localhost:631/printers/KONICA-MINOLTA-C750iSeriesPS-P-BEU-v1-0
- Choose “Administration - Set Default Options” in the drop down thingy
- Choose “User Authentication”, and select/fill in:
- User Authentication: MFP
- Authentication Server: 1
- Username: Custom
- Name: ufal
- Password: Custom
- Key: trojnici
- And click Set Default Options
- Now you should be able to print to the printer directly!
