How to add a BUCS printer at the University of Bath on a Lubuntu Linux machine

You may follow the official instructions here. But the content is a bit out-dated.

If you have Lubuntu 14.04 like I do, you may try the following steps.
  1. Go to System Tools -> Printers, and click "add printer"
  2. In the text-box of "Enter URI", enter the following text (replace BUCSUSERNAME with your university username):
    lpd://BUCSUSERNAME@myprint.campus.bath.ac.uk:515/postscript
  3. Choose Generic driver
  4. Choose Generic Postscript Printer (Foomatic/Postscript) ....
  5. And... done! You may print a test page then.
