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 Laser
Jet 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.
For the HP Color LaserJet 3500 in T165, you can use the driver JE put on
viscus\public
Extract hp_color_laserjet3500_driver.exe to a folder and you can use the inf file
for the "have disk" option on the driver dialogue. Alternatively, the update button
in the add printer dialog will add the 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
activated (on EL4, cups-config-daemon
too).
- 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 Jet
Direct 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 (Laser
Jet 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 sudo /usr/sbin/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.
HP JetDirect? Allowed IP list
The LaserJet4k currently only allow connections from our subnet and the UW Wireless.
You can telnet to it and login. The useful commands are
