Windows

In order to print to a public printer in the Department you will need to use the campus VPN if it is not on a research wired network.

This page describes how to set up your Mac to use the Department printers.

Notes

If you are not on a research wired network you will need to authenticate with the campus VPN first using @cs as your login ID.
