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.

Due to changes in Microsoft server, Windows 11 laptops and desktops will no longer be able to print via our print server. To address this, we have deployed a software solution called “PaperCut” that will allow for printing on Windows 10 & 11, and is also usable on MacOS.
