With DePauw boasting one of the nation’s most connected campuses, there’s no reason you should ever have to panic about printing. Of course, for effective printing, there are a few things you can master to make sure you get the most of the money you have for printing.
1. Printing from a Dell. DePauw offers the benefit of allowing students to print from their laptops to any available public printer on campus. To take advantage of this, however, you must install iPrint onto your computer and you must be logged into Novell through the Novell Client. Both of these applications are available on the Downloads page from the Help Desk. http://www.depauw.edu/it/helpdesk/downloads/ . Once you have installed Novell and iPrint, you can view the list of available printers from the iPrint page http://print.depauw.edu/ipp and install your printer(s) of choice onto your laptop.
2. Printing from a Mac. Printing from a Mac is very similar to printing from a Dell. However, instead of logging into Novell from Novell Client, Mac users may access it through the Network Alias Icon for PCounter. DePauw has just upgraded the iPrint server to support all Macs on campus, including Intel-based MacBooks.
3. Uncommon places to print. Though the library may be the most popular place for printing, there are several other places on campus that may be less crowded for last minute printing. For example, there are printers available in the computer lab across from Prevo Science Library. You can add these printers to your computer or – if there isn’t a class – you may use the computers in the lab. To view a list of all available University printers, visit the iPrint page.
4. Places to print in color. You may not need to print in color often, but if the occasion occurs, the University offers access to one public color printer. The Savin printer in the digital media lab (dml) on the lower level of Roy O. West Library offers high-quality color printing. Each page costs $2.50 to print so, if time allows, it’s still more economical to take any color-printing job to Printing Services.
