Info for Ubuntu Users

I just installed and configured this printer on my Ubuntu laptop. For being able to configure the right Kostenstelle, the following websites were helpful [1,2]. Maybe this is helpful to others, too.

The basic steps are:

1. Navigate to /etc/cups/ppd/: cd /etc/cups/ppd/
2. Open the right PPD file: sudo nano UTAX-300ci-KPDL.ppd (in my case)
3. Find the list of account numbers that looks like this:

*KmManagment MG00000000/00000000: "(00000000) statusdict /setmanagementnumber get exec"
*KmManagment MG00000001/00000001: "(00000001) statusdict /setmanagementnumber get exec"
*KmManagment MG00000002/00000002: "(00000002) statusdict /setmanagementnumber get exec"
[...]
*KmManagment MG00000030/00000030: "(00000030) statusdict /setmanagementnumber get exec"
*?KmManagment: ""
*End

4. Add your Kostenstelle (which is a 4 digit number) as the last entry:

*KmManagment MG00000030/00000030: "(00000030) statusdict /setmanagementnumber get exec"
*KmManagment <Kostenstelle>/<Kostenstelle>: "(<Kostenstelle>) statusdict /setmanagementnumber get exec"
*?KmManagment: ""
*End

5. Set this account as the default account in your printer configuration
