-===== Print Servers =====
+=== Windows instructions ===
+Windows uses the "smb" protocol to print. This requires you to authenticate using your Windows credentials. Enter your user name as ''%%CSDOM\username%%''.
-The department hosts a Windows print server as well as a CUPS server for Unix printing. Linux systems should be pre-configured to print to CUPS. Windows systems should be set up with the Windows printers.
+=== MAC instructions ===
+Mac users print using the //lpd// (Line Printer Daemon) protocol through the Windows print server.
-^ Print System ^ DNS Address ^ Typical Printer URL ^
+To add a network printer, open System Preferences by clicking on the Apple logo in the top left corner. Select Printers and Scanners. At the bottom of the list of printers, click the "+" button to add a printer. Click 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 a 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://printserver.cs.virginia.edu/printer<number>%%'', for example ''%%lpd://printserver.cs.virginia.edu/printer025%%''.

-===== Authentication =====
+The printer has now been added, and you can print to it.
-You must authenticate using your Windows credentials to use Samba printing.  From Windows, you need to enter your user name as ''%%CSDOM\username%%''.  From other operating systems, you may be given a //domain// field, in which you should enter ''%%CSDOM%%''.  If no field for //domain// is available, you may need to enter ''%%CSDOM%%'' in with your user name like with Windows.
-===== New Print Server Coming soon =====
-We are consolidating printing to a new print server named "printserver", which is now in production. This will allow printing from any Operating System through one single print server. Example information about this can be found below.
