Printer Configuration
There are currently four printers.
- averybw is located in UGT (HP 4250)
- averyds is in LFB (HP 4200)
- averylab is in the computer lab. (HP 4200)
- averycmyk is the computer lab (HP 3700, color printer)
You can either access the printers directly by just typing their name (ie. averybw) or by typing their full hostname with .caltech.edu at the end (ie. averybw.caltech.edu).
Note: Windows Vista may have problems adding the above printers. The instructions below are also a bit dated. If you are having problems, see one of the IMSS representatives.
The best solution is to print directly to the printer's built-in print server.
A guide for averybw is here, and for averylab, and averyds, you first need to
download the driver (just put it on your desktop temporarily) and follow these
easy instructions, replacing averylab with averyds where appropriate.
For the averycmyk printer (Color Laser Printer), you can follow the
Avery BW guide except
download the color printer driver from HP. If you need help, see one of the IMSS representatives.
