All of the CS printers are available to Windows like any normal
network printer using Samba/SMB. Before you will be able to print using SMB you will
need to set up SMB access. Just follow the steps for SMB access in the
corresponding FAQ before you continue with the configuration of
printers.
Once you have configured SMB access, select Start->Printers->Add a Printer
and select the "network printer" option. Select "Connect to this printer" and for the "Name:"
enter "\\samba1.cs.indiana.edu\printername" where
printername
is the name of the printer. You can see the
printers section of the
hardware database or run "man printers" on any of the
CS Linux machines to get a complete list of printers. For example, you can use
"\\samba1.cs.indiana.edu\ps14" to print to ps14 or "\\samba1.cs.indiana.edu\psburrow" to print to psburrow.
You will then be prompted to enter the
make and model of the printer, which is also available using the
printers section of the
hardware database or by running "man printers".
If you
have a choice for a particular printer, select the PS or PostScript version
of the printer. When prompted for the "Printer Name" you can can set this
to be any name you prefer, but we recommend that you set it to be the same
as the printer name (such as ps14).
It is important to note that your notebook computer must authenticate
with the samba server (samba1.cs.indiana.edu) in order for you to be able to print.
The easiest way to accomplish this is to access your CS home directory using Samba/SMB
per the
corresponding FAQ before you attempt to print.
