for valid instructions on how to print from your laptop.
To configure your laptop to print to a Math department printer, first connect your laptop to the DoIT wireless within Van Vleck or use the spare ethernet cables in rooms 101 or 322. Once you are connected, click Start -> Control Panel -> Printers and Faxes. When the Printers and Faxes control opens, click the Add Printer button. When the wizard asks if you are configuring a local printer or a network printer, click the button for 'A network printer or a printer connected to another computer'. When the wizard asks for the printer name, enter \\printserver1\N where N is the number of your favorite printer. For instance, if you are on the 6th floor of Van Vleck, you would probably want to print to printer 6. You would therefore enter //printserver1/6 as the name of the printer you are connecting to. When the wizard asks for your user name and password, enter your Math department user name and password.
