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

 +==== Print Server ====
 +The department uses a Windows print server. Linux and Mac users print using //lpd// (Line Printer Daemon) through the Windows print server.\\
 +
 +^ Print System ^ DNS Address ^ Typical Printer URL ^
 +| Windows | printserver.cs.virginia.edu | ''%%\\printserver.cs.virginia.edu\printer039%%'' | 
 +| Mac     | printserver.cs.virginia.edu | ''%%lpd://printserver.cs.virginia.edu/printer039%%'' |
 +| Linux   | printserver.cs.virginia.edu | ''%%lpd://printserver.cs.virginia.edu/printer039%%'' |
 +
 +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.
 +
 +----
 +
 +==== Windows Instructions ====
 +We have deployed a software solution called //**PaperCut**// that will allow for printing on Windows.
 +
 +Simply go to: [[ http://printserver02.cs.virginia.edu:9163/setup/ | 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[printserver02.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.
 +
 +----
 +
 +==== MacOS Instructions ====
 +
 +Simply go to: [[ http://printserver02.cs.virginia.edu:9163/setup/ | Papercut server ]]
 +
 +//**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
 +
 +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 the Search 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://printserver02.cs.virginia.edu/printer<number>%%''
 +    - For example ''%%lpd://printserver02.cs.virginia.edu/printer039%%''
 +    - For the field //Name//, specify **printer<number>**, for example **printer039**
 +      - You can enter a location description (like "Room 211")
 +    - 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.
 +
