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):

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:
- These 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.
- Control Panel -> Printers -> Add a printer -> Local Printer -> Create a new port: Standard TCP/IP Port ->Enter IP name (from the above table)
- 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.
