Laptop Network Local Services including Printing

Printing

Printing as described here only works if you are authenticated (e.g. Eduroam, Raven or lapwing ticket). If you are not then print jobs may be silently dropped. Printing works via wired and wireless.

Printer jobs are logged - who printed what and when.

We support 3 methods of printing from laptop client machines:

• SMB printing (for Windows systems)
• IPP based printing using CUPS (for MacOS-X and Linux systems)
• LPD based printing (for traditional UNIX and some Linux systems)

• Troubleshoot problems printing from your laptop
• List of Printers, including location, status, capabilities and queued print jobs
