Initial Setup (Adding Printers Using IPP)

Initial Setup (Adding Printers Using IPP)

Note: Only registered hosts can use the printers in the CS department. Information on who is eligible to register a host and how to do so is here.

The CS Department print server supports IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is the officially supported printing protocol for MS-Windows printing. IPP printing uses URL notation to identify printers, such as http://lpdrelay.cs.princeton.edu:631/printers/xrx_232. Notice that the name of the print queue is the last part of the URL. All printer URLs in the CS Department are the same but for this last part. While all of the departmental printers are available via IPP, due to a limitation in the print server software, only the base print queues are available. If you wish to use printer features, such as single-sided printing or an alternate paper size, you must do so through the use of Windows printer options (for example, you cannot use xrx_232/simplex or xrx_232/manual, you can only use the base name of xrx_232).
