Departmental printers are available for use in the Student Center (DUE1118), main office (DUE2184), and Grad Student Office (DUE2221). See the printers list or the bottom of this page for a list of current printers available.
NOTE: Use of printers is restricted to CS students/faculty/staff and should not be used to give access to anyone else. Unauthorized use may result in loss of account privileges.
Printing from a lab machine
Windows
Appropriate printers for your login should appear automatically in the File > Print dialog. If you feel that there are printers missing that you should have access to, please contact the support team. You can also manually add the printers by following instructions below.
Linux
Print Commands
The CS department uses the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) for printing under Linux. In addition to printing from the File->Print menu in most graphical applications, users have the ability to print from the commandline. Some of the commonly used commands are the following:
lp
orlpr
: both of these print files, the examples below uselpr
lpq
: displays queued print jobslprm
: removes queued print jobslpstat
: gives status information for printerslpoptions
: sets user-specific printer options and defaults
Examples of how to perform some common tasks:
lpstat -p
: displays a list of available printers in the department (access to all printers except those in labs is restricted to certain users)echo "test" | lpr
: prints the text "test" to the default printerlpr filename
: printsfilename
to the default printerlpr -P e1118-dell-s5830 filename
: printsfilename
to the printer in the Engineering Hall 1118 Student Centerlpr -o sides=two-sided-long-edge filename
: printsfilename
duplex (two-sided) to the default printerlpr -o number-up=2 filename
: printsfilename
using half as much paperlpr -o ColorModel=Gray filename
: printsfilename
in grayscale instead of colorlpr -#4 filename
: prints 4 copies offilename
to the default printerlpq
: displays the current queue of print jobs running on the default printerlpq -a
: displays the current queue of all print jobslprm 30
: removes print job30
from the print queuelpoptions -d e1118-dell-s5830
: sets your default printer to e1118-dell-s5830
Multiple options can be combined as follows:
$ lpr -P e1118-dell-s5830 -o sides=two-sided-long-edge -o number-up=2 -o ColorModel=Gray filename
For more information, refer to Cups online help and the man pages for the tools.
Printing text files
In addition to printing the text files "raw", one can use the following utilities to format the text:
a2ps filename.txt | lpr
: prints the text file in a nicer format; check the man file for more options as this program can do quite a bitenscript -r filename.txt | lpr
: prints a text file in landscape format; check the man file for more options as this program (likea2ps
) can do quite a bit
Printing from a personal or office computer
All Users
There is currently only one printer that is available for use by any student, faculty, or staff member in the CS department: e1118-dell-s5830
If you are a member of staff or faculty, you have access to restricted printers. A list of these can be found on the Printers page or at the bottom of this page. Others will only have access to the printers in public labs.
If you want/need the drivers for the E2184B-KM copier/printer, you can download it here.
Note for E2184B-KM Copier/Printer users: You will also need to configure Account Track Authentication and add your copier PIN by following this guide. If you do not add your copier PIN, your print jobs will silently fail. You will not be prompted for your PIN when you print, you must add it to the printer preferences per the guide.
Windows
To install one of the department printers on your Windows laptop, follow these steps.
- Go to your Start Menu > Run
- Type
\\johnson.win2.cs.ksu.edu
in the "Start Search" box and press <Enter> - Note: Wired network users may use “johnson” instead of “johnson.win2.cs.ksu.edu” for the server name, but either will work. Wireless users must use the long form.
- If prompted, enter your CS username and password
- In the Username box type "WIN2\<username>", where <username> is your username.
- Right click on the printer you want and select "Connect"
- You should now have the printer set up.
If you're logged in with a local account rather than a domain account, you first need to do the following:
- First, you need to open windows credential manager (you should find it if you search in the start menu).
- Click on add a windows credential.
- In the internet or network address, type the address type "johnson.win2.cs.ksu.edu".
- In the username field type
WIN2\<username>
. Replace with the appropriate username. - In the password field, type your CS password and click OK.
- You should now be able to connect to any printer that you want using the same steps above.

Note for the E2184 Copier: Follow this guide to add the printer to your Mac Device: Using E2184 Copier On MacOS
Printer Driver Installation - Option 1

- Then drag the Advanced Icon to the "Add" window
- After you have clicked on the Advanced Icon select the "Windows printer via spoolss" type
- Next a samba connect will need to be made, in the box labeled URL you will need to put
smb://johnson.win2.cs.ksu.edu/{printer name}
- Optional: Give the printer setup a name and location
- In the "Use" box at the bottom select either "Generic PostScript Printer" or "Generic PCL Printer"
- Press the "Add" button at the very bottom, this should verify and try to connect with the print you have specified
- If everything works out fine, you will be able to finalize your printer and use it

- Find the printer that you need to add. Refer to the table below to know the printer name. Only choose the ones that has "yes" under the "Linux" column.
- In "URL", type the following:
ipp://cups.cs.ksu.edu:631/printers/{the printer name}
- In "Use", you may select either Generic PostScript Printer or Generic PCL Printer
- Click "Add". You should now be able to use the printer
Troubleshooting
If you have installed the printer per the above instructions and get the message Hold for authentication in the queue when printing, you probably have an old password saved in the keychain. To clear this, open the Keychain utility (from Finder, go to Applications->Utilities->Keychain Access
) and delete any entry for johnson.win2.cs.ksu.edu
. You should now be prompted to enter your login credentials again the next time you try to print something.
Note: Any printer in the table below that is available for Windows will also be available for MacOS.
