Linux Instructions

  1. Download the Linux Print Deploy client. Please note, this is only supported on Debian forks and currently tested operating systems are Ubuntu 24.04LTS and Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon. We have no reason to believe that this wouldn't work on other Debian forks, however we haven't tested this. From a support point of view, OSP only supports Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
  2. Open the downloaded pc-print-deploy-client[osppc.humanities.ox.ac.uk].deb file open up a terminal. We recommend that you do not attempt to install this through the App Center.
  3. Inside a terminal, navigate to your Downloads folder and run sudo dpkg -i pc-print-deploy-client\[osppc.humanities.ox.ac.uk\].deb and enter any admin credentials.
  4. When prompted, sign in with your SSO via Sign in with Microsoft. During testing, on some distributions we noticed that during the "we're opening up your internet browser" phase, this does not sucessfully open up this webpage. If this occurs however, restart your machine and on the green papercut icon in the system tray, click "Refresh my printers now" and then click Sign-in with Microsoft again.
  5. The Papercut Print Deploy client will install the OSP Print service.
  6. Once installed, choose OSP Print when printing from any application from your print dialog, then release jobs using your University card.
  7. Linux printing comes with some caveats. While you can print to every OSP printer, regardless of site from the OSP Print queue, only limited finishing options are available.

Web Print

As an alternative, you can also send jobs through a web-interface. This gives fewer options, but does allow you to quickly send jobs from anywhere.

  3. Select Web Print → Submit a Job.
