To enable the printer, on the linux cmd line:

  • cd ~

  • cd .cups
  • echo 'User 999nnnnnn' > client.conf (ensure that single quotes are used your 999 is entered)
  • chmod 400 client.conf (ensure that you can only read the file)

In lieu of creating a client.conf file, the printing command can be specified on a terminal line:

  • lpr -U 999nnnnnn-P vprint the.file
