+
+This method requires a running version of CUPS on a personal computer,  
+where you alone have root access.
+
+Insert the following entry into `/etc/cups/printers.conf`for the printer `5123-300-c-2`:
+
+```
+<Printer 5123-300-c-2>
+Info
+Location 5123-300
+MakeModel
+DeviceURI smb://<username>:<password>@uni/print.uni.au.dk:139/5123-300-c-2
+State Idle
+StateTime 1479952801
+Type 8400916
+Accepting Yes
+Shared Yes
+JobSheets none none
+QuotaPeriod 0
+PageLimit 0
+KLimit 0
+OpPolicy default
+ErrorPolicy retry-job
+</Printer>
+```
+
+Remember to put the correct values for `<username>:<password>`!
+
+Reload the CUPS configuration using the command:
+```
+# sudo systemctl reload cups
+```
+
+Take care that no one but you have access to the `printers.conf`file,
+so your login-credentials won't be exposed.
+
+PPD files describe the capabilities of the printer to CUPS so if you want  
+to use any fancy features it's best to have a good PPD-file configured.  
+The PPD files goes in the folder: `/etc/cups/ppd`.  If the of the PPD file is  
+`xrx720.ppd`, then create a link like this:
+
+```
+# cd /etc/cups/ppd
+# ln -s ./xrx7120.ppd 5123-300-c-2.ppd
+```
+
+The same physical PPD file can be linked to from as many printers as required.
+
+There are other ways to create printers and link a PPD file:  
+
+* Web-interface `http://localhost:631`
+* GUI-interface
