-''ipp://printers.lorentz.leidenuniv.nl/printers/<printer-name>''+^Steps to Install the ''lorentz_medium'' printer ((tested with several GNU/Linux distros and with Mac OS Mojave))^

 +|Push add to finalise| 
 +|Optionally you can configure the printer to print double side|

-===== Printing from Laptops and other mobile devices =====+:!: The use of  PCL drivers to install a printer could result in black-and-white printing only.
  
-In principle you could use all the steps mentioned above for the Mac users. If your device does not have cups, you could use any software that is available on your client to set up printers.+===== Multifunctional Copiers/Printers =====
  
-The only important thing to bear in mind is that you should be connected to UL-STRW-LIONOther wireless networks will not allow you to print on the IL 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.
