+It can happen that some desktop managers like Gnome have only a basic printer setup interface, which doesn't allow to add printers in the way described above. In this case, you can use a more advanced version of the interface which is often available by default. It is called ''Printer Settings'' in the applications menu. If it isn't available you can install it via ''apt'' or ''yum''/''dnf''. The package name is ''system-config-printer''. It can also be started with the following command:
-{{:generic:8867.microsoft_5f00_logo_2d00_for_2d00_screen.jpg?200|}}
+''/usr/bin/python3 /usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py''
+In the interface add a network printer, use Internet Printing Protocol and HTTP option with the following url ''http://printserver.strw.leidenuniv.nl:631/printers/<printer name>''. Sometimes, it is necessary to omit the port.
