Instructions to Add Follow-You-Print-Q on Linux Computers

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Linux is not a UniSA supported Operating System.

NOTE: Ubuntu is the preferred distribution to interact with Windows based infrastructure. This guide was built using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. If you are using an unfamiliar distribution of Linux or older version of Ubuntu you unfortunately will not be able to use the Follow-You printing option. Distributions that have had difficulty printing are Centos, Fedora and Slackware. Distributions that have successfully been setup are Ubuntu 14.x LTS or higher, Mint and PCBSD.

1. Obtain the FujiXerox linux PPD debian package from the FujiXerox FTP server:
   ftp://download.fujixerox.co.jp/exe/linux/deb/

   This should install the libraries needed for the printer PPD file to function including the Printer Filters.
