Printing to Network Printers from a PC

1. The first step depends on what version of Windows you are running:
   • If you are using Windows 2000 or XP Go to Start > Run and type in \\scribe.
     
     
     
   • If you are using Windows Vista Go to Start and type in \\scribe in the Start Search bar.
     
     
     
2. A login screen should pop up. Under User name, type in CAMPUS\ followed by your Pomona username (e.g. xyz02004) and enter your password.
   • If you want to use this printer in the future, make sure to check the Remember my password checkbox. If you forgot, don't worry, just see Step 6 once you're done.
     
     
     
3. Find the printer you want to install from the list and double-click it. (click on View > Details to make things easier to see)
   If you're unsure about which printer you want, here's a list of the more popular machines:
   • ITBLB-HP9000 - The two ITB black-and-white printers (your print job will be sent to whichever one has fewer jobs pending).
   • ITBLB-HP4600 - The ITB color printer.
   • HAHN-HP8150 - The two Hahn black-and-white printers (your print job will be sent to whichever one has fewer jobs pending).
   • POM-HAHN-HP4600-CLR - The Hahn color printer.
   • LYON-HP9000 - The Lyon lab's B&W printer
   • LYON-HP4600 - The Lyon lab's color printer
     
     
     
     
4. Click Yes on the warning message that pops up.
   
   
   
5. You're done! You should be able to print to your newly-installed network printer just like a normal printer.
   
   
   
6. If you forgot to save your password, you can add it (and others) to your saved network password list.

Printing to Network Printers from a Mac

First, the easy way. Download this Lab Printer Setup program (for OS 10.4 and below) or Lab Printer Setup for Leopard (for OS 10.5) and enter your name and password; when your network password changes, just run the program again and update your password. This program gives you the option to add printers from ITB, Lyon, Smith Campus Center, Wig, Hahn, and Oldenborg.

If you are unable to download the program, or want to add a different lab printer, you can use the following instructions to add the printer manually:

Please note that if you ever change your Pomona password, you will need to delete all your lab printers from Print Center, and then add them again using the process below using your new password. (To delete a printer, open Print Center, highlight its name in the list, and click the Delete button.

1. From Finder, select Go > Utilities. Open the Printer Setup Utility.
2. For Mac OS 10.3: Hold down the Option key and click Add, then proceed to step 4. For Mac OS 10.4: Click Add to open the Printer List window.
   
   
3. Hold down the Option key and select More Printers...
   
   
4. In the window that appears, select Advanced from the top drop-down menu. From the second drop-down, select Windows Printer via SAMBA
5. Now, you need to decide what printer you want to set-up on your computer. Here are a list of the more popular printers (a more-complete list can be found at http://scribe.pomona.edu)
   • ITBLB-HP9000 - The two ITB black-and-white printers (your print job will be sent to whichever one has fewer jobs pending).
   • ITBLB-HP4600 - The ITB color printer.
   • HAHN-HP8150 - The two Hahn black-and-white printers (your print job will be sent to whichever one has fewer jobs pending).
   • POM-HAHN-HP4600-CLR - The Hahn color printer.
   • LYON-HP9000 - The Lyon lab's B&W printer
   • LYON-HP4600 - The Lyon lab's color printer
6. We're going to add the ITBLB-HP9000. The Device Name can be whatever you want (something that will tell you what the printer is).
7. The Device URI should be of the form smb:// USERNAME: PASSWORD @CAMPUS/scribe.pomona.edu/ printer name** *. So if your username were *ces02005 and your password was password, you would enter smb://ces02005:password@CAMPUS/scribe.pomona.edu/itblb-hp9000.
8. In the Printer Model dropdown, select the company that makes the printer ( HP in this case)
9. In the list that appears, find the specific computer model. ( HP LaserJet 9000 series)
10. Now, your window should look something like this:
    
    
11. Click Add

You should now be able to print to this printer from within any of the programs on your computer.
