All Lorentz Institute printers have been pre-configured and are ready to be used on your GNU/Linux workstation. These should appear in a drop-down menu of the print panel of the software you are using to print.

===== Printing from GNU/Linux, MacOS personal desktops and laptops =====
Connect your device to the __UL-STRW-LION__ wireless network or use a cabled connection if that is available in your office ((The network sockets you can use with your personal devices are labelled //laptop//)).

We advise you use the [[https://www.cups.org/|CUPS software]] to install any of the IL printers. 

^Steps to Install the ''lorentz_medium'' printer ((tested with several GNU/Linux distros and with Mac OS Mojave))^
|Browse to https://localhost:631 (CUPS)|
|Select the administration tab (insert your __personal device account credentials__ if asked)|
|Click on Add new printer|
|Select ipp printer|
|Sse %%ipp(s)://printers.lorentz.leidenuniv.nl/printers/lorentz_medium%% as connection|
|Select the right manufacturer (HP in this case)|
|Select IPP everywhere or, if that is not available, the driver corresponding to the printer model (see [[institute_lorentz:institutelorentz_printers#printers|table above]]) from the drivers list|
|Push add to finalise|
|Optionally you can configure the printer to print double side|

You can repeat the steps above to install any other printer. Just change the printer name accordingly.

:!: The use of  PCL drivers to install a printer could result in black-and-white printing only.

===== Multifunctional Copiers/Printers =====

These systems are not managed by the IL support team. If you experience any problems with them, please do not hesitate to 
contact <helpdesk-multifunctionals@UFB.leidenuniv.nl> citing the location of the printer and its name/code which you will find on the printer itself.
