== 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 ==
* 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.
