You More information about printing on campus can print from various lab computers, such as in be found on [[gp:Torgersen HallPrinting|Torgersen Hall]] and the [[gp:Math Emporium|Math Emporiumrelevant article on Gobblerpedia]]. The Torgersen and Empo printers, along with others, can be accessed remotely, with payment through [[gp:Hokie Passport|Hokie Passport]]. The URL This page provides Linux setup instructions 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 campus 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 ([http://www.lib.vt.edu/photocopy/prices.html price list]). Drivers for Windows and OS X users are available on [https://www.lib.vt.edu/photocopy/printing.html the library's website].
Linux users can print using their local CUPS server by using these settings:
* 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.
