Inkjet Testing

This page is being migrated to a documnent of Free Geek's Google Drive. Once the migration is done, we will post a link to the new page.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRINTING IN UBUNTU:

• Connect via USB or LPT to one of the testing machines. If you're using LPT, check to make sure there is a switch and it's set correctly.
• If you're using USB, Ubuntu should find your printer and allow you the option to configure it. Do that and print a test page.
• If your USB connection isn't found or you're using LPT go to System > Administration > Printing and either find the appropriate driver in the left menu, or create one. Get help if you hit a snag. Then print a test page.
• Delete the printer profile from the menu when you're done.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR WRAPPING UP AND SENDING OFF:

• If your test pages are good quality, write on the Ubuntu test page whether the printer contains "No new ink" or "New guaranteed color ink." or New guaranteed black ink.
• Staple relevant pages together and tape it to the printer.
• Wrap the power cable in a rubber band a put on top.
• Get a coordinator to check it off.
