Install printers on linux while using physics common wireless access points

Linux machines managed by RHPCS should already have printer queues installed. If this is not the case, or if there is a problem with the queues, send a mail to sysadmin@physics.mcmsater.ca. If this is a machine you installed yourself, and using one of the physics wireless access point (most likely a laptop), add the printer queue as root with command

lpadmin -p print_name -E -v smb://physprt/print_name

where print_name is hpe241, hpe241d, clj, clj2s,clj_t, laser326 or laser326d. when you send your print job to the queue just created, an username/password authentication dialog box will pop up. Use your username and password for physserv. You can optionally choose to save the password in "keyring". If you do so, you will be asked to select a password (master key) for your keyring. This is used to unlock the keyring so that passwords stored there can be used by applications. When keyring is used, you will be asked for the master password once in your login session when you first send a print job. No question will be asked for other print jobs following that.
