All printers also have a duplex alias to simplify duplex printing, ie ccb-2s-mopier-duplex.

Printing From Unix

Piping through a TSO Machine (Works Anywhere)

All CoC printers are accessible from the CoC unix machines. The easiest way to print is to save your document as postscript or pdf, and then pipe it to lp on one of the unix machines.

Note: helsinki and gaia seem to be outdated. You can try killerbee1 instead

ssh helsinki.cc.gatech.edu lp -d ccb-2s-mopier < file.pdf
or
ssh gaia.cc.gatech.edu lp -d ccb-2s-mopier < file.pdf

Installing in Cups (Works from Outland)

Adding ccb-2s-mopier

You can install ccb-2s-mopier on a client machine on the Inland or Outland networks. To do this using the Cups web frontend, point you web browser at http://localhost:631. Click "Add Printer" and enter the following information in the text fields.

  • Name: ccb-2s-mopier
  • Device: Internet Printing Protocol (ipp)
  • Device URI: socket://ccb-2s-mopier.cc.gatech.edu:9100
  • Make: Oce
  • Model: Oce im4512

Adding All TSO Printers

Add the following line to your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file:

BrowsePoll printhost.cc.gatech.edu

See the example cupsd.conf file. You may want to then select a default printer. This can be done easily using the Cups web interface (http://localhost:631).

Printing From MS Windows

Windows 7 (LATEST WORKING)

This worked recently for Mike on Windows 7:

  • Go to Devices and Printers
  • Add a Printer
  • Select Add a Network Printer
  • Skip all the searching
  • "Add a Printer using TCP/IP Address or Hostname"
  • Type in "ccb-2s-mopier.cc.gatech.edu" in the first field. Leave all else.
  • Download the OCE im4512 PCL5(or6) driver from their website (right one for your system). Install it default.
  • When it asks for a driver, just browser for the inf file in your drivers directory. You'll be all set.

The Unix Way (Works Anywhere)

  • Install PDFCreator
  • Install an ssh/scp client such as WinSCP, putty
  • Create a PDF from your document using PDFCreator
  • scp the pdf to the unix server (ie helsinki.cc, gaia.cc)
  • ssh to the unix server and use lp as described above, lp -d ccb-2s-mopier file.pdf

For Windows XP:

  • Go to Control Panel > Printer and Faxes
  • Click on Add a Printer, click Next
  • Select 'A network printer, or a printer attached to another computer'
  • Select the second option 'Connect to this printer' and add the Name: as \\ccprint.cc.gatech.edu\rim-mopier
  • If you are required to login, login with your cc credentials
    login: cc\username password: *****
  • Next, Next till Finish
