# FI printers via Samba

Script for installing faculty printers on Linux via Samba print server.

<a id="org22a6855"></a>

## Advantages

-   You can print on WiFi using Samba. (With unauthenticated IPP printing you are allowed to only print via Ethernet cable.)

-   You don’t need to have the same login on your computer as your faculty login.

<a id="org5384368"></a>

## Disadvantages

-   Printers have to be installed one by one.

-   This is not the prefered way of printing on fi. (Prefered way is via Kerberos.)

<a id="org6661b7a"></a>

## Pre-requirements

-   root access (or sudo)

-   Python2 for `copy4a` and `copy5b`

<a id="org6ececa6"></a>

### Warning

If you are printing with unauthenticated IPP or Kerberized IPP, you will have to remove client configuration file for CUPS, which is located at `/etc/cups/client.conf`.

<a id="orgac578d6"></a>

## Usage

Usage: `./install.pl <printer-name>` , where `<printer-name>` is a valid printer name. For example, to install printer `lj2b` run

After running the script, you will be prompted for you faculty login(username and password).

* FI printers via Samba

Script for installing faculty printers on Linux via Samba print server.

** Advantages

+ You can print on WiFi using Samba. (With unauthenticated IPP printing you are allowed to only print via Ethernet cable.) 

+ You can add a FI printer to your existing CUPS instance. This way, you don't have to switch configurations.

+ You don't need to have the same login on your computer as your faculty login. 

** Disadvantages

+ Printers have to be installed one by one.

+ This is not the prefered way of printing on fi. (Prefered way is via Kerberos.)

** Pre-requirements

+ root access (or sudo)

+ running local [[https://www.cups.org/][CUPS]] print server

+ Samba client (~smbclient~)

+ Python2 for ~copy4a~ and ~copy5b~ 

*** Warning

If you are printing with unauthenticated IPP or Kerberized IPP, you will have to remove client configuration file for CUPS, which is located at ~/etc/cups/client.conf~.

** Usage

Usage: ~./install.pl <printer-name>~ , where ~<printer-name>~ is a valid printer name.

For example, to install printer ~lj2b~ run 

#+begin_src shell

./install.pl lj2b

#+end_src

After running the script, you will be prompted for you faculty login(username and password).

*** Available printers

Currently available printers:

- copy2a

- copy3a

- copy4a

- copy4b
