71.12 Printer Install Konica Minolta BizHub C368 Printer
20240314
This office printer requires a driver (a ppd file) which can be
downloaded from
https://www.konicaminolta.com.au/support#drivers. Search for bizhub C368 then click on Go. Choose Driver, English, and Linux. Under the
PPD drop down, choose the latest which might be 2018-07-26 with
version 110001.0000. Accept the License Agreement (if you do agree)
and then download IT5PPDLinux_1100010000MU.zip (544 KB). Unzip the
file to see the folder IT5PPDLinux_1100010000MU. The ppd file
can be found in the folder noted in the example command below. The
other (opn) version has very limited functionality.
Install the printer with the following command, assuming a local
networked printer supported from the printer server at
http://vitellius.dcs.ktu.edu:631/printers:
lpadmin -p F108 \
-v http://vitellius.dcs.ktu.edu:631/printers/F108 \
-P ~/Downloads/IT5PPDLinux_1100010000MU/English/CUPS1.2/KOC759UX.ppd \
-EHere, -p names the printer as F108, -v identifies the device
URI, -P is the path to the printer driver file, and -E to enable
the print queue.
Note that for A4 printing of a slide deck of landscape pages, 6 per page, in the Print dialogue under Page Setup I had to choose Landscape, under Page Handling set Page Scaling to Fit Printable Area and turn off Auto Rotate and Center and then under Advanced set the Binding Position to Top Bind rather than the default Left Bind.
