To find what printers are available to you, consult our list of print queues. As a general rule, each of the department-managed print queues is named after its room number.
After submitting a print job, you can check its status online by checking the print server jobs listing (this link will only work within Tate Lab).
Department machines have available printers pre-installed. For more information on use see the relevant department pages:
Printing is supported from the wired network within Tate Lab, and from the secure PhysicsWPA wireless network. It is not supported from the insecure Physics wireless network (which requires a web login) or from outside Tate Lab.
Setup guides:
There are several devices available to use to scan, copy and send documents. An HP network scanner is located in Physics 216, and two Toshiba eStudio digital copiers are located in FTPI room 431 and in the Astronomy Department (hallway outside Physics 358). All of these devices will scan pages or documents and send them to a given email address as either a PDF or TIFF attachment.
For printers with a Cartridge Care sticker
When toner runs low, call Cartridge Care at (612) 331-7757, and tell them the printer ID from the sticker (eg “SOPA#3”), as well as the room number. They will replace the toner. Please make sure someone is available to let them into the room when they are supposed to arrive.
Please don't replace the toner yourself with a cartridge from the supply room!
For other printer problems, send email to net@physics.umn.edu. If an error code is given on the printer display, please let us know the exact code, as well as what caused it (if known - for example, printing a file from Acrobat reader).
