Printing to Clusters:
Macintosh OS 9
Overview
Students with networked computers in their on-campus rooms can send print jobs to the laser printers in the computer clusters around campus. This makes it unnecessary to go to a cluster with a disk for the purpose of printing.
If you have any questions or problems, please email Student Computing.
Select a Printer
Before you send a print job, you must select the printer where your job will be sent:
- Pick Chooser from the Apple menu in the upper left corner of the screen.
- In the Chooser, select the LaserWriter 8 icon, the ITS
Print AppleTalk
zone, and the printer you would like to print to. Then close the window.
From here, printing is the same as it is on any Macintosh. Open the document you
would like to print, and then choose Print from the File menu. You
will see a box similar to the one below:
Make sure that the printer you selected is listed in the upper left portion of
the box. Then click on the Print button, and your job will be sent to the
printer queue. You can then go to the cluster and release your job using the
print station next to the printer you selected. On the print station, the print
job will appear with the owner name that you have selected in the File Sharing or
Sharing Setup control panels.
