Some hints for self administrated computers and laptops:

  1. Check the entry for the DNS suffix and set it to rz-berlin.mpg.de
  2. Check your name resolution of the DNS server e.g. ping adprint (DNS server IP-address: 141.14.128.1)

6.  Using "Canon Secure Printing" on the Canon Department Printers (Advance 5240)

Secured printing saves a print job in the Canon Printer under an assigned PIN (password) and outputs it later only when the correct PIN (password) is entered at the Canon Printer. This function is useful when printing a confidential document.

When you're using the pp&b print server "ADPRINT" you can use this function on any canon advance C5240i department printer.

- This works not when printing on the other pp&b print servers like CUPS or without a valid print driver !

Works on:

- PP&B Workstations
- Self-administrated workstations Windoows 7 or OSX 10.9.x and above (with a valid print driver) (please see the other print guides for installation help)
- Connected via Ethernet (valid IP-Address 141.14.x.x Network or from WIFI EDUROAM) (please see the other print guides for installation help)
