Printing OU style

Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.Following up on my previous instructions, this time the full story – including double sided printing.

• Go to the “add printer” dialog
• Choose LPD printer, add the name.
  Name is something like MFP-XXX-A0YYYY. XXX for my building is HLR – my printer is MFP-HLR-A09550.
• Download the C360 printer driver (PPD) from the Konica Minolta website (I found multiple options, ended up using the file KOC360UX.ppd)
• Use this printer driver. Configuration:
  • paper source unit: PC-408
  • Finisher: FS-529
  • Punch Unit: none
  • Saddle kit: none
• Now you need to set up authentication. With thanks to:
  here:
  1. Configure the printer normally as LPD – write down the name you choose eg. CASACRISTO
     IMPORTANT: Choose the driver Generic Postcript/Foomatic
  2. Open a terminal and stop CUPS.
     sudo service cups stop
  3. Edit /etc/cups/ppd/CASACRISTO.ppd
     Adding these 3 lines just before the last line:

     *cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-raw 0 minolta"
     *cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-command 0 commandtops"
     *cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 minolta"
     

  4. Create /etc/cups/ppd/CASACRISTO.km (enter your own tracking number instead of 1234):

     ACCOUNT_NAME="casacristo"
     ACCOUNT_PASSWORD="1234"
     ACCOUNT_COETYPE="0"
     

  5. Create /usr/lib/cups/filter/minolta with this content:

     #!/bin/bash
     source /etc/cups/ppd/${PRINTER}.km
     
     echo -en "\033%-12345X"
     echo -en "@PJL JOB\015\012"
     echo -en "@PJL SET KMSECTIONNAME = \"${ACCOUNT_NAME}\"\015\012"
     echo -en "@PJL SET KMSECTIONKEY2 = \"${ACCOUNT_PASSWORD}\"\015\012"
     echo -en "@PJL SET KMCOETYPE = ${ACCOUNT_COETYPE}\015\012"
     echo -en "@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = POSTSCRIPT\015\012"
     
     cat -
     
     echo -en "\004\033%-12345X\015\012@PJL EOJ\015\012"
     echo -en "\033%-12345X"
     

  6. Make it executable: sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/cups/filter/minolta
  7. Restart CUPS: sudo service cups start
• To print doublesided: choose tab “advanced”, not tab “page setup”.
