The printing service is only available when connected through LIP wired network, so it's not possible to print when connected to EDUROAM or any wireless network.

Go to http://printserv.lip.pt:631/printers/

If you can see this page you can use the printers.

MacOS

  • If LIP printers are available in System Preferences » Printers & Scanners » + , then you can add the printers and test if works.

  • If not available, or doesn't work, or for other reason the step above is not possible, if a gear wheel is not available in the toolbar, then click in a blank space in the toolbar, with the right button mouse, then Customize toolbar option, drag the gear wheel to the toolbar, then click in the Gear Wheel.

    • Type: Internet Printing Protocol (http)

    • [Option 1 - By name] URL: http://printserv.lip.pt:631/printers/"queue" (check the queues available using the link. Queues structure: xf = x floor ; bw = black ; cl = color)

    • [Option 2 - By IP] URL: http://192.168.230.1:631/printers/"queue" (check the queues available using the link. Queues structure: xf = x floor ; bw = black ; cl = color)

    • Name: A name for the printer

    • Driver: Select Software, and then choose the right driver for the printer. If a driver is not available, go to the manufacture website and download the driver for your operation system. If the manufacture doesn't provide a driver, you can try the Generic postScript Printer or Generic PCL Printer drivers.
