Printing software on Linux

Linux Centre Managed

Contact computing-help@oxcin.ox.ac.uk to arrange for the printers to be configured on your device.

Linux Standalone​

Linux printing from non-OxCIN account devices (e.g. laptops) ​requires the use of the PaperCut client. We provide a script to automate the installation - first open a Terminal then open a file browser window, click on Other Locations at the bottom of the side-bar and in the Connect to Server box at the bottom enter smb://printing.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/papercut

When prompted for login details select Anonymous. Drag the file install_pc_client.sh to your terminal window and pressEnter on your keyboard. If asked for a password provide your password if you have admin (sudo) rights, otherwise log into an admin account and try again. This will create a folder papercut in your home folder containing the PaperCut Client - pc-client-linux.sh - you will need to run this script before you attempt to print.
