The department also has network printers available in the admin office; contact Joshua or Bill if you need them.
To add a HP network printer to your Windows workstation:
- Go to Printers->Add Printer
- Choose Local Printer, port type Standard TCP/IP, click Next
- Put the name (hpsig1.biostr.washington.edu) or IP address of the printer
- Choose the printer type (HP LaserJet 4000 PCL) and click Next
- Print a test page
Note: The older HP printers usually work faster with a PCL driver than with a PCL6 or PS driver.
To add a HP network printer to your Red Hat Enterprise workstation:
The Red Hat printer configuration and spooler uses CUPS (Common Unix Printing System), so make sure System->Services has cupsd and cups-config-daemon activated.
- Go to Other->Printing and enter the administrative password, or sudo /usr/sbin/printconf-gui
- Click New, then Forward
- Enter a name without spaces, such as 'laserjet4k' or 't165hp3500n', and a description if you want then click Forward
- Choose the queue type Networked JetDirect and put the DNS name (hpsig1.biostr.washington.edu) or IP address (128.95.228.26) of the printer then click Forward
- Choose the printer manufacturer (HP) and type (LaserJet 4000) and click Next
- Print a test page
If CUPS gets confused, it will sometimes silently stop a print queue; after you fix the problem such as a paper jam, use cupsenable laserjet4k to start it. CUPS has a web interface at http://localhost:631, but unfortunately you have to log on as root to use it.
