| |
| − | NOTE: if have a personal Macintosh and you would like to print to our copiers you must do
| |
| − | the following:
| |
| − | * connect to our network with a WIRED connection - there are free ethernet connections
| |
| − | in our two labs.
| |
| − | * The username (aka short name, Account name) and password on your mac must be the same as your math dept username.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If your local username is different from your username in the Math Department, you can print using a command like this:
| |
| − | lp -d P -U <yourusername> file.pdf
| |
| − | (where P is the name of the printer (e.g. 5) and <yourusername> is your username.
| |
| − | NOTE that you can only print postscript or PDF files)
| |
| − | OR you can change your short username using these instructions
| |
| − | http://www.macworld.com/article/132693/2008/03/changeshortusername.html
| |
| − | See the section with this title
| |
| − | The middle ground: changing just your short username
| |
| − | | |
| − | By default, files will print in B&W. To print in color, do this
| |
| − | 1) save or print the file as a PDF - say file.pdf
| |
| − | 2) from a terminal window on your mac type
| |
| − | | |
| − | lp -d N -o ColorModel=color file.pdf
| |
| − | where N=3..8 is the number of your floor
