Printing From Your Laptop

Printing

Printing as described here only works if you are authenticated by Eduroam. If you are not then print jobs may be silently dropped. Printing works via wired and wireless.

Printer jobs are logged - who printed what and when.

We support 3 methods of printing from laptop client machines:

• SMB printing (for Windows systems)
• IPP based printing using CUPS (for MacOS-X and Linux systems)
• LPD based printing (for traditional UNIX and some Linux systems)

Printing from iOS or Android is not currently supported.
