Printing in Chase building is provided by Konica Multifunction printers. The printers are provided by Dalhousie Print Services. Here is the link for print drivers.

Notes -

• Printing is available only from Dalhousie network.
• An account tracking code is needed for printing. It is available from Chase main office on request.
• All printers could be added for Jet Direct/Appsocket printing to port 9100 without needing a print server.
• Print drivers installed for the outgoing e generation bizhubs are incompatible with the currently installed i generation units for using necessary features like account tracking. A new driver install is necessary.

Printer information

Printer Driver setup

Linux

Extract the archive from the link provided above. Install the drivers using the install.pl script. This will place the printer ppd files and filters in the appropriate locations. Use the browser and add the printer like this -

• Visit http://localhost:631
• Administration → Add Printer → AppSocket/HP JetDirect → socket://<ip address from above>:9100
• For Driver, choose Konia Minolta → KONICA MINOLTA WPH PS(P) BEU
• Choose Default Options in the added printer → Account Track → Choose Password to Custom → Use your photocopier code → Set default options
• Make sure that Account Track is turned on

Notes -

• With the Linux driver, the above setup prints cups test pages, but sometimes not real documents when using a GUI.
• When printing, check Advanced → Account track in printer properties. Enable it and choose password as custom. Fill in the code everytime. This should fix the issue when printing from gtk applications.
• Direct printing with lpr is unaffected.

Fix for the above GUI printing problem in Linux

• Force the default incoming document format to be treated as application/postscript

 lpadmin -p <your printer name> -o document-format-default=application/postscript 

• Find the Konica filter named KMbeuEmpPS.pl (Usually found in /usr/lib/cups/filter)
• Find the following line in the above filter -

   #PJL footer 

• Add the following to hard code your account tracking code into the filter right above this line.

# --- FORCE ACCOUNT TRACKING FOR GUI APPLICATIONS --------------------------------
my $MyForcedPin = '1234'; # <-- REPLACE 1234  YOUR KONICA CODE FROM MAIN OFFICE
push @pjl_lines, "\@PJL SET KMSECTIONKEY2 = \"$MyForcedPin\"\r\n";
push @pjl_lines, "\@PJL SET KMPSECTIONKEY2 = \"$MyForcedPin\"\r\n";
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
