| − | Printing to the Ricoh printers from a Windows PC is not as straightforward as it is for linux or MacOS X.
| + | Use these instructions. |
| − | Here are the preliminary steps"
| |
| | | | |
| − | * First, go to this [http://www.ricoh-usa.com/downloads/downloads.aspx Ricoh-site] and type
| + | https://sites.google.com/a/wisc.edu/math-intranet/home/computing/printing |
| − | Aficio MP c4501
| |
| − | to download the driver. Select the appropriate operating system and follow the instructions to install it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Next, make sure your laptop is connected to the Van Vleck network with a wired connection and your
| |
| − | username on your laptop is the same as your math dept username
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Login with an administrative account on your PC (contact the computer staff if you do not have administrative
| |
| − | rights on your PC. Set up TWO print queues to the printer on your floor as follows:
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''The Samba method''':
| |
| − | Use the Windows print setup Wizard, but instead of browsing for a printer, type
| |
| − | \\printserver1\queue_name (for example \\printserver1\3 for the 3rd floor printer)
| |
| − | where queue_name is either your floor number (3..8) or a (101b), b(B-127) or c (101).
| |
| − | Before you do this, make sure that you have the appropriate printer driver installed on your computer. For the
| |
| − | copiers on floors 3..8 select Ricoh Aficio MF C4501 PS as your printer driver. For printers a, b, or c select
| |
| − | HP laserjet 4300
| |
| − | | |
| − | NOTE: the SAMBA method will ignore all choices you make about duplexing, color, etc. and just
| |
| − | print the raw data
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''The CUPS method''':
| |
| − | Use the Windows print setup Wizard and enter this web address:
| |
| − | http://printserver1:631/printers/queue_name (for example http://printserver1:631/printers/3 for the 3rd floor printer)
| |
| − | For the copiers on floors 3..8 select Ricoh Aficio MF C4501 PS as your printer driver.
| |
| − | | |
| − | NOTE: the method described above will give you B&W duplexed printing. For B&W single-sided
| |
| − | printing use: | |
| − | | |
| − | http://printserver1:631/printers/queue_name+s (for example http://printserver1:631/printers/3s for the 3rd floor printer)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Assign different names to these printers - e.g. S3 for the Samba 3rd floor printer and C3 for the cups version. What we
| |
| − | have found is that the samba queue will print a color page in color even if you configure it to do black and white and
| |
| − | the CUPS queue will print everything in black and white only. To avoid extra page charges, use the cups queue for most
| |
| − | printing and the samba queue when you want a color page. (You will be charged 20 cents for every color page).
