Printers

In the Biociphers lab in the Richards building, we usually rely on one Printer, a Ricoh C3000 at the back of the office. On most operating systems that can search for network printers, it should appear automatically with this model name. Otherwise, at the time of writing, it can be connected to directly at the ip address: lpd://165.123.13.173. If this refuses to connect you should also be able to get the current ip address manually from the lcd panel on the printer. Make sure to enable double-sided printing in the options in your operating system. 

Drivers for many operating systems (Ubuntu, Windows, OSX) should be available automatically, but if not they can be downloaded from here: http://support.ricoh.com/bb/html/dr_ut_e/re2/model/imc3000/imc3000.htm or the Linux PPD file can be had from here: http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Ricoh/Ricoh-IM_C3000

If the above doesn't work for some reason...

Official PMACS instructions:

To print from devices connected to Wi-Fi, users will need to connect to our VPN client. If they are using a hardwired connection, there should be no issues with printing.

Even though it's the future now and we're all supposed to be using e-ink and AR, there are still times when a printer is useful.
