A short instruction

  • Via VPN-Client and Goemobile (or another network) authentification.
  • Connect printer via CUPS Webinterface at http://localhost:631 through the printserver print-win.student.uni-goettingen.de .
  • Download PaperCut Linuxclient from smb://print-win.student.uni-goettingen.de/Install/Client_Nutzer/ and start it (Startscript has to be made achievable).*
