SSRL Beamline Printers


There are several laser printers on the beamline floor which are all connected to the network. Users may print from beamline computers at each beamline or any PC or Mac around the lab.
The following queue names are known to VMS systems. WindowsNT and Appletalk queue names are similar to the following queue names:

120_BL7 (Building 120 across from beamline 7)
120_BL8 (Building 120 across from beamline 8-1)
120_BL9 (Building 120 across from beamline 9)
120_MAILROOM (Building 120 mailroom)
131_BL4 (Building 131, across from beamline 4)
131_BL6 (Building 131, across from beamline 6)
131_2ndflr (Building 131, 2nd floor)

The command to print a file on a VMS system is:
print/queue=queuename filename

In order to print from a PC, click on start button, click on Control Panel, click on printers, click on Add a printer. In Add printer wizard, choose "A network printer,...", click next, choose "Browse for a printer", click next, under shared printers, choose a printer on SSRLPRINT2 server depending on the beamline you are using, click next, then it will ask if you want that printer to be the default printer, choose and click next and click finish.
