Here are manuals on how to install the RuG print queues on your linux system. They've only been tested on Debian based OS's, but will probably work on most distributions (perhaps with minor differences).
NOTE!. There are some difficulties with the printing of pdf files. Depending on what program you use to print the file, it can take minutes to print a page or images might get distorted.
The program giving the best results so far is Okular. Set that as your default program for pdf files if you're experiencing these problems.
The myPrint print queue also seems to work better, so set that as your default printer if you're experiencing problems.
