Printing via printer.cs.umd.edu
The preferred method of printing is directly through the CS print server. The /usr/bin/lpr command has a “-H” to specify the server. For example, to print foo.pdf to the ps2 print queue:
/usr/bin/lpr -H printer.cs.umd.edu -P ps2 foo.pdf
Adding a ps1/ps2/ps5 to your local copy of CUPS
Download the Canon ImageRunner ADV 6575 PPD using:

Or with your webbrowser right-click to save as a file: IRB: https://helpdesk.cs.umd.edu/faq/iribe/ps125/linuxfiles/CNADV6575X1.PPD
Adding cps5 to your local copy of CUPS
Download the Canon C5535 PPD using:
wget http://www.cs.umd.edu/faq/iribe/ps125/linuxfiles/CNADVC5535U1.PPD
Or with your webbrowser right-click to save as a file: IRB: https://helpdesk.cs.umd.edu/faq/iribe/ps125/linuxfiles/CNADVC5535U1.PPD
ps1
Create the print queue with lpadmin:
sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p ps1 -E -P CNADV6575X1.PPD -L 1108 -v
http://printer.cs.umd.edu/printers/ps1 -o printer-is-shared=false
Note that you may need the path to the PPD if you are not in the same directory.
In our tests with Ubuntu, the print queue is created without being enabled or allowed to accept jobs. So you may have to run:
sudo /usr/sbin/cupsenable ps1
sudo /usr/sbin/cupsaccept ps1
ps2
Create the print queue with lpadmin:
sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p ps2 -E -P CNADV6575X1.PPD -L 2208 -v
http://printer.cs.umd.edu/printers/ps2 -o printer-is-shared=false
Note that you may need the path to the PPD if you are not in the same directory.
In our tests with Ubuntu, the print queue is created without being enabled or allowed to accept jobs. So you may have to run:
sudo /usr/sbin/cupsenable ps2
sudo /usr/sbin/cupsaccept ps2
