Printing at CLASSE


This page contains information on printing at CLASSE.

General Information

  • IMPORTANT: To print to a CLASSE printer, you must be on a CLASSE network. If your computer is connected to RedRover, eduroam or any other non-CLASSE network, please first connect to the CLASSE VPN by following the instructions at ClasseVPN.
  • Please refer to our PrinterList for information on printers available at CLASSE.
    • Be careful to select the correct (nearest) printer. Sending your printout to the wrong printer can be embarrassing, It also wastes paper and time.
  • Please see LPR for an explanation of the LPR/LPD printing protocol.
    • LPR normally is required when printing from non-CLASSE computers, including Windows. The Windows LPR configuration menu is "hidden".
  • Please see PDFPrinting for important information on printing PDFs here at CLASSE.
    • PDF X-Change normally is used instead of Adobe Acrobat

Printing from a Macintosh (either a private laptop or a public CLASSE system)

For public CLASSE systems, pointers up-to-date Postcript Printer Description (PPD) Files are on the CLASSE Printer List page
(NB: "Generic" always works, some vendor-supplied PPDs do NOT)

Printing from Windows

  • Non-CLASSE Windows computers on the CLASSE "LNS Protected" network must print using PrinterLogic.
  • Non-CLASSE Windows computers on RedRover, eduroam or other non-CLASSE networks must connect to the CLASSE network using ClasseVPN, then print using PrinterLogic.

Printing from Linux

Printing from Unix

Printing from Solaris

Printing in the Physical Sciences Building

  • Laptop Users: Because wireless networking in the PSB is provided by RedRover or eduroam, you must connect to CLASSE's network using the CLASSE VPN before you can print on a CLASSE printer in the PSB. See General Information above.
  • Desktop Users: Since CLASSE desktop computers are connected to the CLASSE public network, you should be able to print using the methods described above, without using the CLASSE VPN.
