Math IT Support → Printing → Adding the Konica Minolta PaperCut Printers on Linux
Removing and adding printers on Ubuntu Linux computers as described below requires root access. If you do not have root access on your Linux computer, send an email to math-system@arizona.edu requesting printer installation.
Prerequisites:
1. The cups daemon must be installed and running,
bob@m226c:~$ sudo service --status-all | grep cups
[ + ] cups
[ - ] cups-browsed

2. Check if non-PaperCut versions of the Konica printers are present (uncommon). If so, they must be uninstalled.
bob@m226c:~$ sudo dpkg --list | grep konica

Next, make sure you are on the Math network, either via an ethernet wired connection or with the UA VPN for Math (click here) on wireless.
Adding the printers:
1. Download the appropriate .deb package for either printer
2. Install the PaperCut printer package you prefer, or both if needed. The last one installed will be your default printer.

If it appears that the job was sent to the printer, but no jobs print out when you log in at the printer you should check this setting:
After you choose print, look at the advanced tab in the print options window. Make sure user authentication is not set up. The new system does not require it.
