Installation of the Software Client (SafeQ-Client) for Copy Machines in Business Mode

Installation requirements

  • Windows 7 or later (32-bit or 64-bit) (tested: Windows 7 64-bit, Windows 8.1 64-bit)
  • Mac OS X (tested: Mac OS 10.11 to OS 10.14)
  • Linux (64-bit only, tested under Ubuntu)

Installation under Windows

  • Close running programs if necessary.
  • Start the installation process and follow the instructions of the installation program.

Installation under MAC

  • Download the SafeQ client, adapted for Konica-Minolta copiers: SafeQ-Client

Installation under Linux

CentOS 8 / Fedora

Variation for newer Linux-Versions

Because of the fact that the SafeQ-Client for Linux will not support anymore from Y-Soft, we estableished an alternative way to make printing possible.

To install it download

cups-konica-minolta-1.23-1.el8.noarch.rpm

and put it under /tmp

Installation with dnf (it will install all neccessary packages automatically):

sudo dnf install /tmp/cups-konica-minolta-1.23-1.el8.noarch.rpm

Restart CUPS:

sudo systemctl restart cups

Install the printer under CUPS. Its exemplary called SafeQPrinter in the organisation Uni Marburg

sudo lpadmin -E -p "SafeQPrinter" -v "ipps://wsrz223.hrz.uni-marburg.de/ipp/print" -L "Uni Marburg" -P /usr/share/cups/model/KMbeuC368ux.ppd -o 'printer-is-shared=false' -o 'auth-info-required=username,password'

Activation of the printer, the printing queues and acceptance:

sudo cupsenable SafeQPrinter
sudo cupsaccept SafeQPrinter

If you start a printing job it should ask you for credetials

Known problems:

Certificatesfailure (cups-pki failed)

While establishing the printer device the ssl certificate in /etc/cups/ssl while it allready exists CUPS failure with  cups-pki failed

To solve this problem the certificate of the server have to be deleted under 
 /etc/cups/ssl/ and CUPS has to be restarted:

sudo systemctl restart cups

CUPS will load the certificate automatically within the next try of establishment of the connection to the server

Notes

Where does printing on copiers in business mode work?

Printing on copiers and printers in business mode works from the entire UMRnet, i.e. also;

  • via WIFI,
  • via laptop LAN accesses,
  • from home via VPN. (Please note that large files usually have a very long transfer time!)
