Added link to CAD lab 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.
