We recommend that you go through these steps at least twice to set up at least two printers. Periodically one of the printers may jam or have some other problem. It is good to have at least one or more backup printers. You can print to any of the student printers on the third or fourth floor.
- Open System Preferences
- Go to Print & Fax
- Press the plus sign to add a printer.
- Choose the IP tab
- Select Line Printer Daemon – LPD from the Protocol menu
- In the Address field, type cerebellum.case.edu
- For the Queue, enter XXX-Duplex ß where XXX is the society room of the printer you want. The possible choices are:
- Wearn-Duplex, Wearn-BKP, Blackwell-Duplex, Blackwell-BKP, Satcher-Duplex, Satcher-BKP, Robbins-Duplex, Robbins-BKP (the “BKP” printers are the older, smaller Dells that you have in your rooms to use as a backup in case your duplex printers fail).
- Then there are the lounges: Redlounge, Bluelounge
- And the Health Center Library, or “HCL”
- For Printer Model: choose Generic Postscript Printer.
- Click Add.
- Open Microsoft Word.
- Create a new document and write something on it unique to yourself, such as This is a test page for <your name here>, then try to print it using the printer you have selected.
If all works well, you are done with the black & white printers.
SET UP THE COLOR PRINTER
How to install the color printer on a Macintosh computer.
- Turn on your Mac and plug in the network cable.
- Go to FileTransfer (the “T-Drive”) folder.
- Go to Administrative Computing, then Student Printer Setup, then Color Printer – Dell 5110cn, then go inside the folder For OS X.
- Double-click on the Dell 5110cn.dmg disk image you see inside. Run the Dell 5110cn Installer.app file inside. This will install the drivers.
- Open System Preferences.
- Go to Print & Fax
- Press the plus sign to add a printer.
- Choose the IP tab.
- Select Line Printer Daemon – LPD from Protocol menu.
- In the Address field, type cerebellum.case.edu
- For the Queue, enter e323color
- Under Name, enter “Color Printer in E323” or something appropriate.
- For Printer Using, choose Select a driver to use…
- From this drop down list, select Dell Color Laser 5110cn v3015.103 PS
- Then click Add.
- A new list of items will appear. Just click Continue.
Since you have just configured this printer, it is currently set as the default printer. We recommend setting a different printer as default, since printing a lot to the color printer by mistake could be a costly error (it is $0.25 per page).
