SUSTech Unifound Printing Management System Backend for Mac OS.

南方科技大学联创打印系统 Mac OS 驱动

This driver can be also used in any Unix system that supports CUPS with slightly different configuration.

• Python >= 3.6 [should be installed in /usr/local/bin/python3]
• Python requests
• PyQt5 [only in Qt version]

Please follow the steps below to finish the installation.

1. Install Python if you haven't.

2. Run the following command in the terminal.

    pip3 install requests
   

   When using Qt version, pyqt5 is also required to be installed.

3. Install Gutenprint

Run the following command in the terminal.

git clone https://github.com/dizzam/upmclient.git
cd upmclient
sudo ./install.sh

1. Run cupsctl WebInterface=yes in terminal to enable web admin

2. Visit http://localhost:631/admin in your browser.

3. Click Add Printer and choose Unifound Printing Backend on the next page. You may be asked for the username and password of your computer.

4. Input the URI for the printer

    upm://<server host>:<port>/[username[:password]]
   

   For SUSTech users, use <server host>=172.18.1.141 and <port>=9130 or <port>=80. <username> and <password> are your account for the printing system and are optional only in Qt version.

5. Next, input the printer name, description and location as you like.

6. On the next page, it's recommended to choose Gestetner > Gestetner DSc1030 - CUPS+Gutenprint as printer make and module.

7. Finally, on the option page, change Media Size to A4 and change Color Model to Grayscale if you are not going to print color pages.

• Supporting A4 Paper only
• "切换到黑白输出" not working
• When printing application-level grayscale documents, this driver fails to identify color properly and may produce extra charge. To avoid this, be sure to use system-level printing setting dialog for color management and double check the page and color information at the terminal machine.
