TODO: Outdated == Newman Library Public Printing ==[[gp:Newman Library|Newman Library]] has a Pharos public printing system that allows users to print using Hokie Passport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]. Linux users can print using their local CUPS server by using these settings:* Network URL: lpd://id_num@pharos.lib.vt.edu/Newman_Print_Q (replace id_num with your 9-digit student ID number)* Printer type: Canon imageRunner ADVANCE C5045/C5051 * 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. == Other Campus Public Printers ==Other campus Pharos printers can be installed on Linux, but a Windows machine is required in order to determine the queue name. Follow this procedure (tested on 64-bit Windows 7) to determine the appropriate Linux lpd URI:* Install the appropriate Pharos driver package from the [http://128.173.42.228/uniprint/Packages.asp campus Pharos server]. * Open regedit, and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Pharos\Popup Client\LocalPrinters\[Some printer name], and record the SpoolQueue value. (On 32-bit systems, the value is probably under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Pharos\Popup Client\LocalPrinters\[Some printer name].)* 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.
