1. Ensure that Print Services for Unix have been installed on your computer.
The easiest way to do this is to go to "Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add / Remove Programs > Add / Remove Windows Components" and double-click on "Other Network File and Print Services."
If "Print Services for Unix" has a check in its box, it is already enabled. If it doesn't, check the box and click OK.
Click "Next" when returned to the "Windows Components" selection screen. Windows will find and install some files. You may be prompted for your Windows CD.
2. Add a new printer.
Go to "Start > Settings > Printers. Select Add Printer." Select the "Local Printer" option, and deselect the option to automatically detect Plug-and-Play printers. Select "Create a new port" and choose "LPR Port" in the drop-down menu.
In the Add LPR compatible printer window:
- Next to "Name or address of server providing lpd", enter "pharos-1.georgetown.edu".
- Next to "Name of printer or print queue on that server", enter the queue name of the printer to which you would like to be able to print. (see Pharos Printers for list of queue names for each location and for the printer manufacturer and model.)
Printer Queue List
Click "OK" and wait for a printer selection box to come up (there may be a delay).
Note the printer type for your queue in the list below. Select the appropriate manufacturer on the left (Hewlett-Packard, Dell or Lexmark) and the printer model on the right (See Pharos Printers for the model, and to download the driver if needed)
Choose a name for the printer and decide whether or not you would like it to be your default printer. Do not share this printer. Sending a test page is not necessary (you would have to pay to actually print it out, so it?s probably not something you want to do.)
3. Picking up your print jobs.
In the lab to which you chose to print, your document will be held under the network name of your computer. You can find out what your computer's network name is by right-clicking on "My Computer", selecting "Properties," and on the properties screen, go to the "Network Identification" tab. The computer is identified by the "Full computer name" line.
Most students can change the name, and may wish to do. A good suggestion is to use your NetID, as it is unique among all users (which will eliminate confusion about who a particular job belongs to). Of course, if for some reason you need your computer's network name to be something in particular, don't change it.
Swipe your GOCard at the Print Kiosk and pay for your jobs.
