Adding IPP Printer
Under construction more information to follow
Public printers in the Physics Department are set up via print servers. To allow users to print from their own devices on eduroam and other BYOD networks we have setup a Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) print service on https://duerer.physics.ox.ac.uk
Access restricted to members of Physics including undergraduates. When requested sign in with your Physics credentials adding PHYSICS\ in front of your username i.e. PHYSICS\JBlack.
Find IPP Printer details
- Using your favourite browser navigate to https://duerer.physics.ox.ac.uk
- Identify the printer you wish to use and select
- Select menu item Properties on the left hand side of the page and note Printer Model(Driver) and Network Name

Additional Linux PPD
Many PPD files are available Here
Sharp MX-4141N (AOPPSharpL2 etc) ppd file Here
For new(er) printer models, try searching for the printer model name at https://www.sharp.co.uk/
Then look for Linux PPDs in the "Drivers & Software" tab, as at, e.g., https://www.sharp.co.uk/node/42521 for the MX-3061. Drivers are often bundled, e.g. https://docs.aws.sharp.eu/Service_Information/Drivers/sharp-1.1-mx-c55-p... contains drivers for 31 models.
