4. Choose Windows as Type, an remeber to give the URL (see below).

  Employees:
  smb://pullprint.uib.no/PullPrint (ordinary balck & white prints)
  smb://pullprint.uib.no/PullPrintPDF (for pdf files)
  smb://pullprint.uib.no/PullPrintColor (for color prints)
  smb://pullprint.uib.no/PullPrintPDFColor (for pdf color prints)
  Students:
  smb://username:password@student.uib.no/<queue> (where the queue might be any of those listed above for employees, "smb://" must be removed)
  NB! It is important that you use your own username and password and not the word themselves.

5. Select a proper driver. If you wish to just print in black and white "HP LaserJet 6L -Gutenprint 5.1.3" should work (versions may vary). If you need colors you can use "HP Color LaserJet 4730mfp".
