 +===== 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.

 +^ Printer Name ^ Printer Model ^ Location ^ Installed Printer Options ^ Notes ^

 +==== 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://printserver.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[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.
 +
 +----
 +
 +==== MacOS Instructions ====
 +
 +Simply go to: [[ http://printserver.cs.virginia.edu:9163/setup/ | 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>%%''
 +    - For example ''%%lpd://printserver.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.
 +
 +=== High Capacity Public Printer on the 5th floor ===
