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.
All of these devices will scan pages or documents and send them to a given email address as either a PDF or TIFF attachment.
Paper can be obtained from the mailroom or outside room 80, next to the copier.
For toner or ink, most printers should have a sticker with directions on how to obtain supplies.
For the major shared printers in the building, we will monitor toner level and replace when needed, but you can also send email to net@physics.umn.edu if necessary.
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 come and replace the toner. Please make sure someone is available to let them into the room when they are supposed to arrive.
For printer maintenance or other 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, if it was caused by printing a particular type of file).
