Printing in Jadwin Hall - Physics Department, Princeton University

(http://www.princeton.edu/physics/internals/it/printing)

There are more than a dozen network printers distributed over different locations of Jadwin Hall. Some are private, some are group owned and others are public. A heavy duty wide format Dell 5110cn printer is a common facility for which actual usage of toner and media are charged. Print queues are already setup on Feynman cluster and centrally administered workstations. Windows and Mac users must setup desired printers manually, some tips follow for Unix Windows Mac

Public printers queue names (Linux, NTprintserver and IP names):

Printing from Unix (Linux Workstations/Feynman):

lpr -P print_queue_name file.name

, lpstat -s for listing available queues. For details see CUPS user manual at: http://www.cups.org/sum.html

Each printer has 4 queues associated with it. The first 2 or 3 characters represent printer make (hp or xrx) next 3 characters indicate room number. An optional postfix character indicate the following:

"" = Duplex, 2 pages/side (Default, if printer has duplexer)
"d" = Duplex, force 1 page/side (if printer has duplexer)
"s" = Simplex, force 1 page/sheet
"r" = Rotated, Duplex, force 1 page/sheet, page on reverse rotated by 180 degrees
For example
lpr -P hp208 file.txt prints duplexed, 2 pages each side
lpr -P hp208d file.ps prints duplexed 1 page each side
lpr -P hp208s file.pdf prints single sided 1 page for letters and transparencies.
lprm -P hp208 job_id Removes print job job_id from print queue hp208

Printing from Windows:

All the network printers are installed as shared printers on OIT's NTprintserver. To install these on clients, just run \\NTprintserver and double-click on the printer nearest to you. You do not need any special privileges for this but you need to logon as Princeton\NetID. The other method is to make direct connection from your machine to the networked printer. This must be done with admin privileges. Settings -> Control Panel -> Printers -> Add Printer -> Local Printer -> Create a new port: Standard TCP/IP Port -> Enter IP name, see below -> Then find the printer driver you downloaded and installed, or that came with Windows if it's included. Print a test page and verify it worked. Windows allows setting printing preferences on per-user basis via printer properties to override defaults. The properties dialog varies among different vendors and some times between models. For example, duplex or multi-page/sheet setting may be be found under General or Paper Layout or Finishing tabs, curse the vendor, not us!

To set up a queue in recent versions of Mac OS X:

In System Preferences, open Print & Scan

In System Preferences, open Print & Scan
Press the "+" key to add a printer (open the lock first, if necessary to allow changes)
In the Add Printer window, click the IP icon
Protocol should be set to LPD
In the Address field, enter the IP name of the printer from the list at the top of this page
Leave Queue blank
Click "Add"

Alternatively, printers can be added using the queues set up on ntprintserver.
In step 5 above, enter ntprintserver in the Address field. Under Queue, type in one of the queue names (e.g. phy_dl_jadwin_hall_378). Click Add.
