CS hosts a number of network attached printers on the 4th and 5th floors of Rice Hall. There is also an HP Scanner and a Ricoh scanner/copier in the 5th floor mailing room. There is no cost associated with printing, anyone with a CS account can print.

The department uses a Windows print server. Linux and Mac users print using lpd (Line Printer Daemon) through the Windows print server.

All printers that are available for network printing have a label on them in the form of 'printerXYZ'. Simply replace 'XYZ' with the specific printer number you wish to use with the URL format given above.

We have deployed a software solution called PaperCut that will allow for printing on Windows.

Simply go to: Papercut server . This will download a file to install the PaperCut (Mobility Print) software.

Double-click on the downloaded pc-mobility-print-printer-setup-1.0.317[printserver.cs.virginia.edu] file to run it.

Follow the set up steps, and then you'll then be prompted to select the printers you want to add. Printers in Rice Hall that are available for network printing have a label on them in the form of 'printerXYZ', for example “printer009”.

After selecting your printers, it will prompt you for your CS Username (which is your computingID) and password. If you have forgotten your CS password, our CS password reset tool is here (https://www.cs.virginia.edu/PasswordReset).

After typing in your CS username and password, Papercut will install the printers for your computer to use.

If Papercut doesn't work for you, the alternative is to add the printer using its name.

Go to Settings, then select Printers and Scanners (this may be hidden under Bluetooth and devices).

Select Add a Printer or Scanner, and wait for Windows to scan for printers. When it can’t find any printers, select The Printer That I Want Isn’t Listed and click on Add Manually.

Then select Add a printer using an IP address or hostname and click Next.

Select the Device Type to be TCP/IP Device.

For Hostname or IP address, specify the printer's fully qualified domain name (FQDN), for example: printer070.cs.virginia.edu (this name is on a label on the printer).

The Port Name will fill in automatically.

Click Next. Windows will then resolve that name and attempt to print to that printer.

Simply go to: Papercut server

If you previously installed Papercut, first uninstall the previous version by opening the Applications folder and dragging the Papercut folder to the Trash. Then also remove any previous printers by going to System Settings, Printers and Scanners, and removing the existing printers.

If Papercut doesn't work for you, the alternative is to add the printer using the lpd (Line Printer Daemon) protocol.

Open System Preferences by clicking on the Apple logo in the top left corner, and select Printers and Scanners

At the bottom of the list of printers, select the + button to add a printer

Don't select the Protocol to be “Line Printer Daemon - LPD”. This won't work!

Select Advanced (If this icon is not shown, right-click any white space at the top of this window, select Customize Toolbar, and drag the Advanced Gear icon to the toolbar, then click Advanced).

Wait until Searching for printers… completes.

Then add the printer by selecting Type to be “LPD/LPR Host or Printer”, Device to be “Another Device”, and URL to be lpd://printserver.cs.virginia.edu/printer<number>

1. For example lpd://printserver.cs.virginia.edu/printer039
2. For the field Name, specify printer<number>, for example printer039
   1. You can enter a location description (like “Room 211”)
3. For the field Use, choose “Generic Postscript Printer”

Select Add

You will be prompted for your CS userid and password when sending a print job.

There is a high capacity printer (“printer039”) in the 5th floor mail room (room 525). Detailed directions for adding this printer on a Windows, Mac, or Linux based desktop can be found at this link: Xerox VersaLink B610
