While Stewart is absolutely 100% correct from a technical
standpoint, we'd really appreciate it if you didn't do that. We very
specifically didn't advertise the addresses of the printers directly,
but rather pointed everyone at a print spooler. This is for several
reasons. First, this gives the terminal room staff more of an ability
to clear out large or broken jobs if something goes awry. Secondly,
it allows for a much deeper queue, should a big job or two come in at
a peek printing time. Finally, the Terminal_Room_Printers queue
distributes jobs across both printers.
So, if making those few extra clicks don't overtax people too
much, we'd greatly appreciate following the instructions as distributed.
Thanks!

This quick email is just to point out that the Mac users here don't
actually need to follow the printing instructions on that sheet. If
you're using a Mac, you don't need to open System Preferences, or add,
set up, or configure anything. When you plug your laptop into one
of the
Ethernet connections in the terminal room area and bring up the
"Print"
dialog box in any application, you'll see that the two HP printers are
already there, as if by magic, in the "Printer" popup menu, under the
"Bonjour" heading. They call themselves Term-01 and Term-02.
All network printers manufactured in the last year or two by HP, or
pretty much any other printer maker, do this.
