[[Category:How-To]][[Category:Computers]]For a list of public network printers, see http://cf.williams.edu/oit/facilitiesw/printers?u=docs/public.cfmPublic+Printer+List
If you are printing out many slides for studying, see [[How to print multiple slides per page]]
*Find the type of the printer you want to install (some listed [http://cf.williams.edu/oit/facilities/printers/public.cfm here]). All public printers are HP, usually laserjet 5m, 4000, 4050, 4100. If you can't find the right one, select something close to it.
*The installation should complete on its own, and the printer will come up as an option the next time you try to print.
====On a PC (without [[Novell NetWare]] installed):====
*Go to "Printers and Faxes"
*Click "Add a Printer"
*Follow the same instructions as above for choosing the type of printer to install
====[[Mac OSX OS X]] 10.4:====
*Open Print and Fax from the System Preferences
*Choose the model. If you aren't sure, the HP laserjet 5m is a good choice.
*If you have AppleTalk enabled on your Mac you can browse for printers directly.
====Unix servers:====
*ssh into the unix servers
*issue the command '''lp -d''' "''name of the public printer''" "''name of file''", where the public printer name is from [http://http://oit.williams.edu/w/?u=docs/Public+Printer+List here], and the name of the file is the name of the file on your unix account.
*if you want to see the status of the printer, try '''lpstat -p''' "''name of the public printer''"
*laugh at your foolish \/\/1|\|D0\/\/$ friends.
