| 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/administrative-resources/computing/printing/windows-ip-printing-instructions PC printing setup instructions] |
| 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
| |
| | |
| '''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.
| |
| | |
| 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). | |
