GNU/Linux workstations

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.

From the terminal

Use lpstat to display a list and state of available printers

lpstat -p

Print a document with lpr

lpr -P<printer_name> <document>

IP addresses and hostnames of the printers can be obtained using

$ lpstat -v

Printing from Laptops and other mobile devices

Follow the following steps.

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

Connect to a wireless network

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

  • UL-STRW-LION
  • LeidenUniv
  • Eduroam

Connect to UL-STRW-LION. Upon successful binding 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

Configure printers

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>

Print

lpr -P<printer> myfile.ps
