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.

Setting up Printers on Unix or Linux

The simplest way to use the Physics print queues is to use CUPS print software on your Unix/Linux system. This is the default print system for most current Linux distributions.

Setting up Printers on Windows

Wed, 10 Dec 2008 23:24:14 -0600

The easiest way to access print queues using Windows (XP or later) is to use the “Add Printer” wizard. Choose “Network printer” as the type of printer to add. Then type in the printer name as <\\PUBLIC\xxx>, where “xxx” is the name of the print queue - eg, <\\PUBLIC\431>. Browsing for the printer may not work, as the Windows browsing feature doesn't work reliably on a large network like ours.
