NOTE

Try to use the black and white printer (suncat-hp3015) when possible, to save money. Both printers can print full-duplex to save money/trees.

Mac (Wired)

  • SystemPreferences -> Print&Scan
  • Click "+" on middle left
  • (Lion only) Click "Add other printer or scanner"
  • Near the top click "IP"
  • Select Protocol "Line Printer Daemon - LPD"
  • In the "Address" line give suncat-hp3015.slac.stanford.edu (black and white) and/or suncat-hp4025.slac.stanford.edu (color)
  • Click "Add"

Mac (Wireless)

To create a printer entry on mac that uses the print server, follow the mac instructions above, but in the "Address" line use printserv.slac.stanford.edu. For the "Queue Name" use either "suncat-hp4025" or "suncat-hp3015".

Windows 7 (Wired)

  • Go to "Control panel" > "Hardware and sound" > "Devices and printers"
  • Click "Add printer"
  • Select "Add network printer, ..."
  • Click on "The printer that I seek is not on the list"
  • Select "Add printer through TCP/IP-address or hostname"
  • Type in the printer name: suncat-hp3015.slac.stanford.edu (black and white) and/or suncat-hp4025.slac.stanford.edu
  • Click next (this can probably take a couple of minutes)
  • Give the printer a name

Note that you may be prompted to install drivers (from a list of HP printers). Try to choose one that is close in model number (e.g. Ib Chorkendorff installed drivers for an HP4005 which appear to work with our HP4025).

Windows 7 (Wireless)

  • Enable LPR by going to ControlPanel->ProgramsAndFeatures->TurnWindowsFeaturesOnOrOff->PrintAndDocumentServices
  • Follow directions here (they are for XP but seem to be pretty much the same for windows 7)
  • For "port names" use either "suncat-hp4025" or "suncat-hp3015"

Windows XP (Wired)

  • After selecting "Add Printer" use "local printer attached to this computer" (this is unintuitive, unfortunately)
  • In the next window select "Create a new port" with type "Standard TCP/IP port"
  • Use hostname suncat-hp4025.slac.stanford.edu or suncat-hp3015.slac.stanford.edu

HP Copier/Fax/Scanner

There is a black and white LaserJet Pro copier/fax/scanner available. The extension for the fax is x2069. It can scan to email. It does not work with double-sided documents, unfortunately.
