-Before you can print from the wireless network, you first have to **authenticate to the physics website**. This opens up the necessary network ports for your IP address (within a few minutes). +You can either:

-After doing this you can do either of:+
   - use the method above for wired printing   - use the method above for wired printing
   - set up a local print queue on CUPS using port 9100 (jetdirect) directly to your chosen printer hostname.   - set up a local print queue on CUPS using port 9100 (jetdirect) directly to your chosen printer hostname.
  
 The second method is probably preferable for a laptop, as it will eliminate your cups system from trying to poll ours even when you are not elsewhere, but the first gives easier access to all the available print queues. The second method is probably preferable for a laptop, as it will eliminate your cups system from trying to poll ours even when you are not elsewhere, but the first gives easier access to all the available print queues.
