System requirements
For UNIX/Linux workstation, the following environment is required.
The “Python” module must be installed on your UNIX/Linux workstation to enable printing. The “Python” module
is usually installed in the “/usr/bin/” directory. Check this directory whether the “Python” module is installed.

Printing using local port is provided via Samba. Printing via Samba is performed through either IPv4 or IPv6. To
perform printing by using a local port that specifies IPv6, IPv6 should be selected on Samba.
Precautions for using user authentication
The login name is specified as being case sensitive in the UNIX/Linux system, but not in the equipment. Therefore,
ABC, Abc, abc are treated as a different login name in the UNIX/Linux system, but as the same login name in the
equipment.
