Revision as of 23:06, 22 August 2023
The University of Calgary's managed IT printers are all Ricoh printers. The printers are currently C4504 (pre-2023) and is currently transitioning to C4510 (post 2023).
The printers should be preconfigured on all managed IT computers but if you use a self-managed machine, you will have to set up the printers manually.
How to install Ricoh C4504 / C4510 printer on Linux
You will need to install the system-config-printer and CUPS packages for your distro and then configure the printer manually. Depending on your distribution, you'll have to install this package with some additional dependencies.
| Distro | Command |
|---|---|
| Fedora / Red Hat | dnf -y install system-config-printer cups-client samba-client
|
| Ubuntu / Debian-based | apt install system-config-printer cups-client smbclient samba
|
| NixOS | Add in the system-config-printer package to your systemPackages list and then run nixos-switch rebuild.
|
Add the printer queue
Run system-config-printer from the Terminal.
Click on 'Add' and select 'Network Printer -> Find Network Printer -> Windows Printer via SAMBA'.
In the SMB Printer dialog:
- Enter
smb://itctspcp01.uc.ucalgary.ca/Staff. If you are a student, you must use the Student queue (cost per use applies)smb://uc/itctspcp06.uc.ucalgary.ca/Student. - Select 'Prompt user if authentication is required'
Next, when asked to choose a driver, specify the PPD file for the C4510. This is available from: https://www.openprinting.org/download/PPD/Ricoh/PDF/Ricoh-IM_C4510_PDF.ppd
Configure the printer with 'Finisher SR3310' and no other installable options.
Do not print a test page. Instead, finish the setup first and then submit a test page. This is because you need to authenticate for the print job to submit properly which won't happen until you finish the printer setup.
After you submit a print job, open the print queue and click on 'Authenticate'. When prompted to log in, enter your UCIT credentials. If authentication fails, try adding a 'uc/' prefixed to your username (Eg. 'uc/username').
How to install Ricoh C4504 / C4510 on MacOS
You can install the Ricoh printers on MacOS without any additional software packages.
- Open System Preferences by clicking on the Apple icon on the top left and clicking 'System Preferences'.
- Click on Printers & Scanners.
- Click on the + icon to add a printer.
- Click on the Advanced button. If you do not see a Advanced button, right click on the bar and select 'Customize Toolbar...' and then drag the 'Advanced' button to the toolbar.
Add the Staff / Student queue
The Staff / Student follow-me print queue allows you to print to any printer on campus. You must manually release the job at the printer using your OneCard.
To add a Follow-Me print queue, set the printer options to the following:
- Type: Windows printer via spoolss
- Device: Another Device
- URL:
smb://itctspcp01.uc.ucalgary.ca/Staff - Use: Select RICOH MP C4510 PS. If you do not see this option, download and install it from Ricoh's Website: http://support.ricoh.com/bb/html/dr_ut_e/apc/model/imc2010/imc2010.htm
