+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.
-<code>
-lpstat -p

-Print a document with ''lpr''
-<code>
-lpr -P<printer_name> <document>
-</code>
-IP addresses and hostnames of the printers can be obtained  using
-<code>
-$ lpstat -v
-</code>
-===== GNU/Linux, MacOS personal desktops and laptops =====
-Connect 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.
-To install the ''lorentz_medium'' printer do ((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)
-  * add new printer
-  * select ipp printer
-  * use ''ipps://printers.lorentz.leidenuniv.nl/printers/lorentz_medium''
-  * 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 table above) from the drivers list
-  * push add to finalise
-  * optionally you can configure the printer to print double side
-Should you want to add any of the printers mentioned in the table above, use the following connection scheme
+==== Printing From the Terminal ====
-<code>ipp://printers.lorentz.leidenuniv.nl/printers/<printer-name></code>
+^Command^Description^
+|lpstat -p| Display a list and state of available printers|
+|lpr -P//printer-name// //doc.pdf//| Print //doc.pdf// on //printer-name//|
+|lpstat -v| Display Printers connecton info|
-and use either the driver appropriate for the printer model (see table above) or the IPP everywhere driver.
+===== 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.
-==== PCL driver ====
+^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|
-In Mac OS you can also use a PCL driver to install your printer. Using this latter will result in black-and-white printing only.
+You can repeat the steps above to install any other printer. Just change the printer name accordingly.
-===== 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-LION. Other 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.
