Mac
- SystemPreferences -> Print&Scan
- Click "+" on middle left
- (Lion only) Click "Add other printer or scanner"

- Click "Add"
Try to use the black and white printer when possible, to save money. Both printers can print full-duplex to save money/trees.
Windows 7
- 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
Using the print server queues
For some large files (Hanne had a 2.3MB jpg) our printers flash an "insufficient memory" message on their screen and then print a message on the paper like "ERROR: limit check" and "OFFENDING COMMAND: image". The SLAC print servers seem to do a better job of handling these memory problems. 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".
Xerox Copier/Fax/Scanner
There is a black and white xerox copier/fax/scanner available. The extension for the fax is x2069. It can scan, but it cannot scan to email, so at the moment is probably useless. At some point I should try to see if I can get some sort of scanning to work.
