Printers

The department maintains several printers located in the CIT on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors.

  • Department etiquette dictates that large printouts be queued early in the morning or late at night, unless it's an urgent need
  • Use the copiers for multiple copies, not the printers. The copiers have a lower per-page cost.
  • See the Printing Web Page for instructions on printing.
The available printer queue names are:

More details

  • The B&W Laserjets are 24 page-per-minute high quality printers They are also ``duplex'' printers, providing two-sided printing. Duplex printing is the default, so to request single-sided printing use the instructions on the Printing Web Page
  • The names in the first column are valid names for use with the -P option to the printer commands lpr(1), lpq(1), and lprm(1).
  • In Windows, the printers use the same naming scheme. By default, all of the Department's printers appear in the "Printers" control panel.
If you encounter a physical problem with a printer (jammed, out of toner or ink, etc) and have not been ``trained'' in how to fix the problem, please do not try to guess your way through. Use the problem facility to report the trouble, or ask a Tstaff member or one of those friendly veteran grad students. They'll show you how to fix it for the next time. Be especially hesitant to mess with the color printers.

Please read the Printer Use Policy to ensure you are making appropriate use of the department printers.
