Printing in Jadwin Hall

(http://physics.princeton.edu/it/printing.html)

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):
lpr -P   NTprintserver\\           IP name
dla17    phy_dl_jadwin_dla17       phy-dla17.princeton.edu
xrx105   phy_dl_jadwin_105b        phy-xrx105.princeton.edu
hp120    phy_hp_jadwin_rha_120     phy-hp120.princeton.edu
hp208    hp_jadwin_208(IP)         phy-hp208.princeton.edu
xrx231   phy_xe_jadwin_231         phy-xrx231.princeton.edu

In addition, we have a large chart printer and laminator located. Contact Ray Laue (Tel:8-4370)

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!

Printing from Mac:

Mac OS can use Windows Print shares via samba or using direct IP printing. You can create print queues by using IP names as "PHY-vvvnnn.princeton.edu" where vvv is two or three lettered vendor name (hp or xrx) and nnn is the room number.
