Getting Help
Laser printing services are available from PCs in the computer labs
maintained by the Computer Center and from node Gemini.
Guidelines for Use
Documents directly related to coursework or scholarly research
(which require laser output) and resumes may be printed.
Examples of acceptable documents include:
You should print only one copy of a particular document
and take it to a photocopy machine if you need additional
copies. The laser printer is not to be used as a photocopier.
General Procedures
Laser printing is available on Gemini, and from the PCs in
Clement Hall 313, Clement Hall 215, Brown Hall 207, Henderson
Hall 111, and the Library Media Center 113.
When you print from a PC application, such as
Word or Excel, your laser printout will automatically
go to the laser printer in the lab where you are located. When
you print from Gemini, your laser printout will go to the
location you specify (see specific instructions below).
In order to pick up your printout, you must present your valid TTU ID
card. No documents will be printed without a valid ID.
Unclaimed documents will be discarded after 48 hours.
Printing from PC Applications
To print from a Windows application in one of the Computer Center labs, select
File - Print Setup from within your chosen application, such
as Word or Excel. Choose the
HP LaserJet IIIsi or the HP LaserJet IIIsi PostScript,
then click OK.
Please remember that your output will automatically be directed to the laser printer in the lab where you
are. For the PCs in CH215, the output will be directed to the
Operations Window in CH226.
Printing from VMS on Gemini
To print from node Gemini, use the following command:
print/queue=queuename filename.extension
Where queuename is one of the laser printer queues and
filename.extension is the file you wish to print. The
names of the queues refer to their specific location:
laser_bn207 Brown Hall 207
laser_ch226 Clement Hall 226 Operations Window
laser_ch313 Clement Hall 313
laser_hh111 Henderson Hall 111
laser_lm113 Library Media Center
Your printout can only be picked up from the location to which it was submitted.
You may also submit your print job with an additional parameter:
| /form=ps | Specifies that the file you are sending to print is a PostScript file |
Sample commands:
print/queue=laser_bn207/form=ps sample.ps
print/queue=laser_ch226 finalreport.txt
