Department public printers
The public print queues ps3 and ps4
are
Canon imageRunner 3570s. They include some
advanced features:
- Scanning -- The new units can be used to scan documents to TIFF or PDF formats and send them via email or FTP.
- Secure printing -- Print jobs (such as exams) can be password-protected, and only
printed when you key in the password at the printer. Secure printing works
only from Microsoft Windows systems.
- Stapling -- Documents up to 50 pages can be automatically stapled.
Note that although these units are capable of functioning as copiers,
they are dedicated to scanning and printing. The copy function is disabled
except on ps3c, which does not print. Please use only ps3c
or the large xerox copier in 4180 for copying
Updating Drivers
In order to use the advanced features, you will need to use the correct,
current drivers.
Note that supported department UNIX machines and PCs should already have the correct drivers
and print queues installed. If you are having problems with a supported
machine, please contact staff@cs.umd.edu.
Also note that unsupported machines must be on the local network
or using the department VPN in order to print.
Systems using the campus wireless network are not considered to be on the local network, and must use the VPN.
Secure printing
UNIX systems
Secure printing is not supported from UNIX systems. You will have to send secure jobs from a Windows system.
Windows systems
Print a document normally, and be sure to choose one of the print
queues with the Canon Imagerunner 3570 driver installed. We recommend
selecting an individual printer (e.g., ps4b instead of a
general queue (e.g., ps4) so that you know which printer to go
to to release your job.
- At the print dialog box, choose Properties.
- As Output Method, instead of Print, choose Secure Print.
- Immediately to the right of the Secured Print setting is a very small button. If you point at it, it should identify the
button as Secured Print settings. Click it.
- Enter a username to identify your document.
- Enter a numerical password or PIN for your document. Your username and PIN should persist after sending the job,
so you won't need to enter them again unless you want to change them.
- Click OK
- Click OK again to send the print job.
- A Confirm Password dialog box will appear to verify your secure job, username, and password. Click OK
Mac OSX systems
Secure printing is not supported from MacOSX systems. You will have to send secure jobs from a Windows system.
