How do I install Princh on our public PC's? (Linux)
Princh has a software called Princh Cloud Printer (PCP) that can be installed on public PC's to make it even easier for patrons to print
- On the Linux machine, open up the terminal.
- Run the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:princh/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install princh
- Once these commands has run correctly, start the installation by using this command:
princh-setup
Now an installation window will appear and here you have to enter a printer name, a printer ID, and a description. When you're done, click "Create printer(s)"
- When the printer(s) have been installed, it's important to make sure that princh-daemon starts automatically when a user logs on the PC. This can be done, adding a symlink to the user with this command:
ln -s /usr/share/applications/com-princh-print-daemon.desktop ~/.config/autostart/
- Now you can test the software by trying to make a print. Make sure you're selecting the printer(s) you just installed.
