You can print from various lab computers, such as in [[gp:Torgersen Hall|Torgersen Hall]] and the [[gp:Math Emporium|Math Emporium]]. The Torgersen and Empo printers, along with others, can be accessed remotely, with payment through [[gp:Hokie Passport|Hokie Passport]]. The URL for them is http://128.173.42.228/uniprint. [[gp:Newman Library|Newman Library]] also offers printing, payable in Hokie Passport only. The [[gp:Architecture Library|Architecture Library]] offers free printing, but they ask that you bring your own paper when printing more than 10 pages. For nearly all printers, the cost is $0.10/page for black and white and $0.75/page for color.

== Newman Library Public Printing ==

[[gp:Newman Library|Newman Library]] has a Pharos public printing system that allows users to print using Hokie Passport funds. Drivers for Windows and OS X users are available on [https://www.lib.vt.edu/photocopy/printing.html the library's website].

* PPD file: Either of these should work: [http://filesha.re/download/selif/fi/cncupsiradvc5051zj.ppd] or [http://filesha.re/download/selif/fi/cncupsiradvc5051zk.ppd]

* Be sure to change the default paper size from A4 to letter, and set the color mode to black & white. Optionally, you can enable duplexing.

== CS buildings ==

Printing for Gilbert Place, D&DS, and Torgersen is documented [https://wiki.cs.vt.edu/index.php/Network_Printers here] on the VT Computer Science Wiki.

== Other Campus Public Printers ==

* Install a printer in CUPS, using the URL lpd://student_id_num@128.173.42.228/SpoolQueue (replacing student_id_num with your 9-digit student ID number, and SpoolQueue with the value found in regedit)

* Linux PPD files are generally hard to find, but [http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net gutenprint] contains a large collection of print drivers compatible with CUPS. If all else fails, you can use a generic print driver, but you may be missing many of the printer's features.

~~Windows print drivers for various printers are also available at [http://www.cadlab.vt.edu/Help/PHAROS.html the CAD lab's website], but this has not been updated since 2003.~~
