Printer Queues
UMIACS uses a centralized print server to manage all of the printers in the Institute. See Printing for more details specific to your OS. We have developed a naming scheme for our printer queues based on the colors the printer can produce, the type of queue, and the room number.
The naming scheme is as follows:
- All color printers begin with a "c". Black & white is the default so nothing extra is needed.
- Then is either "ps" for a postscript queue or "pcl" for a PCL queue. Postscript and PCL are types of printer drivers. If you are unsure what this means, use "ps" for postscript.
- Then add the room number. All printers NOT in the AV Williams Building also add the building number. E.g., room 3108 in IRB is "432-3108" while room 3142 in AV Williams is "3142".
Some examples:
- cps3142 is a color printer in AV Williams 3142.
- ps432-3108 is a black & white printer in Iribe 3108.
- cps296-3120h is a color printer in BSB.
