Mobility Print from Ubuntu Client

Everyone loves Mobility Print from PaperCut, why wouldn’t you? It has made BYOD printing easy and from a support point of view, we encourage easy!

Here on our support desk, we get a lot of Linux traffic and we wanted to show you that setting up Mobility print  on Linux is not so scary. We originally set this demo up on Ubuntu 16.04 (other distros are available) but decided to write up a guide for Ubuntu 18.04 as it is more recent and it should hopefully minimise confusion.

Warning – As this is for Ubuntu you may find some differences if you use a different distro.

So to print via Linux to Mobility Print we are going to use IPPS, see, that does not sound so bad, you are probably already using it to print from your Mac.

Good to Know:

As a side note, the system only shows the username and password while you are setting it up if you return to the printer properties settings afterwards the URL does not show the sensitive information (nice huh).

What next?

We hope you find this useful, it’s something that crops up enough now that we can just happily point people at this blog post and be confident they will be able to succeed!

As always, any questions, problems or advice on what Xbox game to get next just chuck us an email.
