List of Printers
From Unix Systems
Here's the list of printers that can be accessed from the Unix systems. If there is a duplex and a simplex queue listed, the duplex queue prints on both sides of the page while the simplex queue does single-sided printouts.
Room 146: Xerox Phaser 6350 (color), duplex queuename = ps Room 146: Xerox Phaser 6350 (color), simplex queuename = pss Room 146: HP Color LaserJet 5500, duplex queuename = color Room 146: HP Color LaserJet 5500, simplex queuename = colors Room 146: HP Color LaserJet 5500, transparency queuename = colort Room 29: Xerox Phaser 4500, duplex queuename = fred Room 29: Xerox Phaser 4500, simplex queuename = freds Room 21: Xerox Phaser 4500, duplex queuename = ethel Room 21: Xerox Phaser 4500, simplex queuename = ethels Room 25: HP DesignJet 650, queuename = fawkes
From Laptops
If you have a laptop and would like to configure the printers on it, you'll need to know the IP addresses of the printers:
Xerox Phaser 4500: fred.astro.Princeton.EDU. has address 128.112.24.25 Xerox Phaser 4500: ethel.astro.princeton.edu has address 128.112.24.212 Xerox Phaser 6350: phaser.astro.Princeton.EDU. has address 128.112.24.222 HP 5500: hp5500.astro.Princeton.EDU. has address 128.112.24.17 HP DesignJet 650: fawkes.princeton.edu has address 128.112.24.87
As for setting up the software to print, that is left as an exercise for the reader. Different OSs (and even different versions of the same OS) are configured in various ways. You may be able to get some information from HP's website, and if you're running Windows you can even download the drivers necessary to run the printer from there. Linux machines may be able to just send to the queue name on gutenberg, as in 'lpr -Pps@gutenberg'
If you have a personal machine running Linux, and it uses CUPS for its printer setups, then you can also edit the "ServerName" line in /etc/cups/client.conf to read "gutenberg.astro.princeton.edu". This will setup all the CUPS client software on your laptop to talk to our print server here, and no additional changes are needed.
Note, however, that doing this means if you have a local printer setup, for example one you use at home, it will not work anymore unless you change the ServerName back to what it was.
From Windows
Ed Jenkins submitted a quick HOWTO for installing network printers in Windows 2000, viewable here: Installing Printers in Windows
The Xerox printers are also very user-friendly in helping you to install drivers on your machine for them. If you're running Windows or Mac OS, point your web browser to the printers' built-in web servers at http://phaser.astro.princeton.edu, http://fred.astro.princeton.edu and http://ethel.astro.princeton.edu. There's a link there for installing drivers, and it seems to work well for everyone who's tried it so far.
