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 or lpr : both of these print files, the examples below use lpr
  • lpq : displays queued print jobs
  • lprm : removes queued print jobs
  • lpstat : gives status information for printers
  • lpoptions : 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 printer
  • lpr filename : prints filename to the default printer
  • lpr -P e1118-dell-s5830 filename : prints filename to the printer in the Engineering Hall 1118 Student Center
  • lpr -o sides=two-sided-long-edge filename : prints filename duplex (two-sided) to the default printer
  • lpr -o number-up=2 filename : prints filename using half as much paper
  • lpr -o ColorModel=Gray filename : prints filename in grayscale instead of color
  • lpr -#4 filename : prints 4 copies of filename to the default printer
  • lpq : displays the current queue of print jobs running on the default printer
  • lpq -a : displays the current queue of all print jobs
  • lprm 30 : removes print job 30 from the print queue
  • lpoptions -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 bit
  • enscript -r filename.txt | lpr : prints a text file in landscape format; check the man file for more options as this program (like a2ps) 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.

  1. Go to your Start Menu > Run
  2. 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.
  3. If prompted, enter your CS username and password
    • In the Username box type "WIN2\<username>", where <username> is your username.
  4. Right click on the printer you want and select "Connect"
  5. 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:

  1. First, you need to open windows credential manager (you should find it if you search in the start menu).
  2. Click on add a windows credential.
  3. In the internet or network address, type the address type "johnson.win2.cs.ksu.edu".
  4. In the username field type WIN2\<username> . Replace with the appropriate username.
  5. In the password field, type your CS password and click OK.
  6. You should now be able to connect to any printer that you want using the same steps above.

OS X

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

  1. Open the "Printers & Scanners" preference pane from the System Preferences
  2. Click on the "+" to add a printer
  3. Click on the "Advanced" Icon (it will look like a cog)
    1. If you do not have the Advanced Icon showing up, right-click (or control-click) on a blank area of the "Add" window next to the icons and select "Customize Toolbar"
    2. Then drag the Advanced Icon to the "Add" window
  4. After you have clicked on the Advanced Icon select the "Windows printer via spoolss" type
  5. 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}
  6. Optional: Give the printer setup a name and location
  7. In the "Use" box at the bottom select either "Generic PostScript Printer" or "Generic PCL Printer"
  8. Press the "Add" button at the very bottom, this should verify and try to connect with the print you have specified
  9. If everything works out fine, you will be able to finalize your printer and use it
  10. When you send a print job, you will be challenged for login credentials. Please provide your CS account and password for this.

Printer Driver Installation - Option 2

  1. Open the "Printers & Scanners" preference pane from the System Preferences
  2. Click on the "+" to add a printer
  3. Click on the "Advanced" Icon (it will look like a cog).
  4. In "Type", select "Internet Printing Protocol"
  5. 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.
  6. In "URL", type the following: ipp://cups.cs.ksu.edu:631/printers/{the printer name}
  7. In "Use", you may select either Generic PostScript Printer or Generic PCL Printer
  8. 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.
