As of the 16th of September 2016 the wireless network HLOortNetwork has been discontinued. Please use `UL-STRW-LION' when using your personal device.

All Lorentz Institute printers have been pre-configured and are ready to be used on your GNU/Linux workstation.

To display a list of available printers from your GNU/Linux workstation use lpstat

lpstat -p

and to print a document

lpr -P<printer_name> <document>

Some printers might have access restrictions.

If you are interested in knowing the ip addresses/hostnames of the printers, for instance you can type

$ lpstat -v
device for lorentz_big: socket://132.229.227.27:9100
device for lorentz_small: socket://132.229.227.26:9100
device for oort1-color: socket://132.229.211.233:9100/
device for Oort2copier: socket://132.229.227.24
device for secretariat: ipp://ilsecretariatprinter.lorentz.leidenuniv.nl
device for sysadmins: ipp://hpcolor3000dtn.lorentz.leidenuniv.nl

You can also find valuable information here.

Follow the following steps.

• Connect to a wireless network
• Configure printer(s)
• Print

Your wireless card will probably detect the presence of one of more of the following networks

• UL-STRW-LION
• HLOortNetwork
• Eduroam

Connect to either UL-STRW-LION or HLOortNetwork. Upon successful binding try opening your browser and visiting a web page, for instance http://physicsworld.com/. You should be re-directed to a university web portal in which you will be able to authenticate. Fill in your credentials and upon successful authentication you will be ready to browse the internet freely.

For instance:

domain: LORENTZ

Username: your-lorentz-username

Password: your-lorentz-passwd

Add a new printer. This procedure differs for different operating systems. Please refer to your device manual for help or contact us.

The only important note is that you should configure the printer connection using the institute printer server

printers.lorentz.leidenuniv.nl.

If your device allows you to specify a web address for the printer, then you can use http://printers.lorentz.leidenuniv.nl:631/printers/<printer-name> where <printer-name> is one the Lorentz Institute printers (see below).

If your device requests that printers be configured via the ipp protocol, then you can enter

Host: printers.lorentz.leidenuniv.nl

Queue: printers/<printer-name>

The institute printers are the following:

lpr -P<printer> myfile.ps
