Printer installation on GNU/Linux

The guide refers explicitly to the Kyocera TASKalfa 4053ci, the network multifuntional printers installed at Elettra, but can be used for other printers, properly changing the drivers.

The latest drivers for the Kyocera TASKalfa 4053ci can be downloaded from:

https://www.kyoceradocumentsolutions.it/it/support/downloads.html.name-L2l0L2l0L21mcC9UQVNLQUxGQTQwNTNDSQ==.html#tab=driver

choosing "Classic PCL and KPDL driver".

The ZIP file should be uncompressed and the "KCTS4053.PPD" will be located in ClassicDriver/KPDLDriver/English (or Italian, if preferred)

Just follow the step-by-step procedure reported below, but change the "sincro-print" hostname with "print.elettra.trieste.it", while we proceed to create new screenshots! Thanks for your patience.
