Off-campus Access
Staff Printing with Remote Working Client from OS X Lion
Introduction
Once you have followed these instruction to set up the Staff-Mono and Staff-Colour printers, you can print to them from off campus provided that you have first connected using the VPN Client; you can subsequently collect your printout when you are next on campus.
Set up
You will need to do the set up either on campus, or you can follow the instructions at home after you have connected using the VPN client.
Introduction
The following step by step instructions are for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion printing to charged printers.
-
Download the latest Ricoh drivers for OS X and install them.
-
In System Preferences select Print And Scan.
-
Click the + symbol to add a new printer.
-
If you don't have the Advanced option in your Add Printer window, Ctrl-click on the tool bar area and select Customize Toolbar from the pop-up menu, then drag Advanced to the toolbar.
-
Click Advanced in the toolbar. For Type choose Windows printer from spoolss from the menu.
-
The Printer URL should be filled in in the form of smb://lunet:username@.lboro.ac.uk/printers where the Staff Mono queue is required, replacing username with your University username. (For adding the Staff Colour queue see step 11.)
-
At present the driver to select is Ricoh Afficio MP 5000. Click Add.
-
Optionally change the name of the printer here to change what will be shown in the Print & Scan control panel and in the Printers list when printing. Click Add.
-
For Option Tray select Lower Paper Trays. For Finisher select Finisher SR 790.
-
When printing you will be prompted for your username and password which should be filled in with Registered User selected, Name in the format username (you don't need to prefix with LUNET\ as this was entered at step 6) and Password completed with your University password. If you are the sole user of your system you may choose to Remember this password in my keychain which means you will no longer be prompted for your username and password as the job will be sent to the printer automatically, and you will be charged accordingly when you print.
-
For adding the Staff Colour queue these same steps should be followed, but the driver to be used is Ricoh Afficio MP C5000.
Printing to the print queue
When sending a job to the print queue if you are not prompted for your username and password immediately the job will appear in the printer window (this window will open automatically when printing) on hold requiring authentication. Highlight the job and click Resume, and then enter Lunet\ followed by your university username, and password.
