How to install a queue on a “out of domain” computer in SMB (old method)

Step 1: connect to server

Fill the address field with the server’s name preceded by two backslash: \\<server name>

(usually, backslash is obtained pressing ‘Alt’ + ‘<‘)

 

Server names:

  • printEPFL1 : access to the students deserved pool
  • printEPFL2 : access to the co-workers deserved pool
  • printEPFL4 : access to the students deserved pool
  • printEPFL5 : access to the co-workers deserved pool

Those 4 servers are available for better load balancing, but they are all identical. You can use them interchangeably.

Once the network address is entered, you will be asked for authentication.

Step 2: enter your credentials

Therefore use your Active Directory account: intranet\your_username and your Gaspar password

The list of available printers and pools will be displayed but no printer should be installed; it is simply a matter of making the connection with the server and being authenticated on it

Step 3: download the driver

For a PCL queue

  • SecurePrintPCL-Col : to print in Color, in PCL format (smaller file size); ideal for “Office” documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.)
  • SecurePrintPCL-BW : to print in Black and White, in PCL format (smaller file size); ideal for “Office” documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.)

Download the ZIP file containing the PCL driver

>>> Canon Plus PCL6 Driver <<<<<

Extract information from Zip file by double clicking on it

Step 4: Install a printer manually

For a “color” queue, enter one of these ports

  • \\PrintEPFL1\SecurePrintPCL-Col
  • \\PrintEPFL2\SecurePrintPCL-Col
  • \\PrintEPFL4\SecurePrintPCL-Col
  • \\PrintEPFL4\SecurePrintPCL-Col

For a “Black and White” queue, enter one of these ports

  • \\PrintEPFL1\SecurePrintPCL-BW
  • \\PrintEPFL2\SecurePrintPCL-BW
  • \\PrintEPFL4\SecurePrintPCL-BW
  • \\PrintEPFL4\SecurePrintPCL-BW

Then install the driver

 

Name the printer so as to recognize its server and its type (PCL or PS), and whether it is color or black and white; for example: PrintEPFL1_SecurePrintPCL-Col

Go back to the peripherals page, Printers and scanners
Select your printer

Click on the “Change” tab

Click on “Select manually” and then on the red arrow visible on the right

Take the configuration file that is suitable for the printer that is in the zip of the file that we have previously downloaded
Ex : IR-ADV (Type 046)SP-PCL-COL.typ

Uncheck “Retrieve device information”
Then click “OK”

Click on “Apply”, then on “OK”

For a PS queue

  • SecurePrint-Color : to print in Color; larger size but ideal for PDF documents, for example
  • SecurePrint-BW : to print in Black and White; larger size but ideal for PDF documents, for example

Download the ZIP file containing the PS driver,

>>>> Canon Plus PS Driver <<<<<<<

then proceed in the same way, choosing a PS file
