Adding a Printer

1. First create a tunnel to the PaperCut server with ssh -NL 8080:127.0.0.1:631 papercut
2. Browse to http://localhost:8080/admin
3. Click Add Printer
   • At this point you will be prompted for your LDAP username and password. A warning may appear that your password will be sent in clear text but remember that it will be sent in the clear to localhost:8080 which is a secure tunnel to papercut:631 so don't worry about it.
4. Choose AppSocket/HP JetDirect
5. Enter the path to the printer (e.g. socket://loxx4260-1.hampshire.edu:9100)
