  • press "Enter" or "double click" for automatic installation 

 

Windows with local accounts (login with local account or private PCs)

Example with Kyocera printers:

  • Go to the “Windows Settings” and choose “Devices”


     
  • in the next windows go to “Printer & Scanner”

     
  • then to “Add Printer or Scanner”

     
  • It is possible that a long list will appear, but our printers are not included. Please click here on "The printer you want is not listed".

     
  • choose the “TCP/IP-address” option and press “Next”

     
  • fill out the “IP” field and select the checkbox (see table above) and click “Next”

     
  • type in a logical name and click “Next”

     
  • don´t share this printer and click “Next”

     
  • now you can print a test page or/and click “Finish”

     
  • the printer is now installed 
     
  • Repeat all these steps if you want to install an additional printer

 

Macintosh

Example with Kyocera printers:

  • Install driver first:
    - You can find the driver for the Kyocera an Ricoh printers in the PUBLIC folder on the IBCS-BIP-FS1 server
    - Connect to the IBCS-BIP-FS1-Server by using the path smb://ibcs-bip-fs1.ibcs.kit.edu or cifs://ibcs-bip-fs1.ibcs.kit.edu (this depends on your OSX version – please try the second path if the first path doesn´t work)

    (sorry - old screenhot with old addresses)

    - Login with your KIT account like ab1234 and your password (sometimes it only works with the email address and your KIT password)
    - Select the PUBLIC folder and choose the folder “!Printer” -> “Macintosh – Kyocera…” -> “Mac51…” (or similar) and install the dmg file
  • Install the printer (it could be possible that you can print even if you do not install the Kyocera driver, then it uses a generic driver):
    - Go to “System Preferences” (Systemeinstellungen) and choose “Printers & Scanners” (Drucker & Scanner)


    - Click on the "+" sign to add a printer


    - Click on “IP” and fill out the address field and give the printer a logical name (see table above)


    - for Ricoh printers only: Choose the protocol "Line Printer Daemon - LPD"


    - press “Add” when you are done and then in the next window “OK”
    - the printer is now installed and you can see it in your list
    - If you want to install an additional printer, click on the "+" sign again and repeat the steps

 

How to use VPN

  • To use VPN, you need to install the software "OpenVPN" (for Windows) or "Viscosity" (for Macintosh) or former "Tunnelblick" for older macOS versions.
    If you have received a PC from the institute, OpenVPN is normally already installed. Viscosity is from January 2021 and not yet installed.

"OpenVPN" for Windows:
