UHH Physnet Printing script


This script is desinged for printing in the physnet remotely from your PC, preferably running linux (developed under Ubuntu).

To archive this, it will log into your account with ssh, scp the files up, print via lpr and check the queue with lpq. If you don't understand this, don't worry, you won't need to.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

- The files you want to print as PDFs without password in one folder

- Your Physnet-Username (Usually first letter of your first- and first seven letters of

	your lastname; e.g. rvollmer for René Vollmer)

- The password

- Internet-Access


HOW TO INSTALL THE SCRIPT

Required libs

sudo apt-get install expect


sudo apt-get install expectk

mkdir ~/UH\ PRINT/

Extract the zip into that folder. Then:

sudo chmod +x ~/UH\ PRINT/uhhprint.exp

create a file Deckblatt.pdf like the one in the zip inside this folder. You can use e.g. open office for this. Then:

scp ~/UH\ PRINT/Deckblatt.pdf [email protected]:~/print/

or just start the script and select s when asked for the Cover page.

Advanced

You can open the .exp-Files with an editor of your choice and edit the default values.


Recommended

sudo cp ~/UH\ PRINT/uhhprint.exp /bin/uhhprint


sudo chmod +x /bin/uhhprint

enables you to start the script with the command "uhhprint"

You have to repeat that with any change in default values or new versions.

Cool: Quickstarter for Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool gnome-panel


gnome-desktop-item --create-new ~/UH PRINT/launcher.desktop

Select:

*Aplication in Terminal

*uhhprint

*Name, icon and description desired

Drag and drop the icon into the starter on the left
