Network printers – iPrint
Network printers of the "Kunstuni" are administrated using a system called "OpenText iPrint". By installing the iPrint-Client, users are able to print on printers within the network, provided they are authorized for the respective printer.
iPrint-Client
In order to be able to add a printer to your device, the iPrint-Client needs to be installed on the device. On all devices provided by the ZID, this client should be pre-installed by default. If that is not the case or you are having troubles printing, you can download the software from here (button "Download iPrint Client" on the left) and install it: https://iprint3.ufg.at/print

Troubleshooting
Please make sure that the device, on which you want to install a printer, is connected to the network auf the Kunstuni (via ethernet cable or WLAN). If you are experiencing troubles with installing or using a printer in many cases it is helpful to re-download and re-install the iPrint-Client (see above), then reboot the computer and try again. Problem: During installation of a printer you are asked to provide "Local iPrint/CUPS user account" login.
Solution: Re-install the iPrint-Client, reboot the computer and try again. Problem: PDF file refuses to print. It may happen that some PDFs are not printed, especially if you are using Adobe Acrobat.
Solution: Open the PDF with another application, for example the webbrowser (Edge, Safari, Chrome, Firefox) and print from there.
