How Can I Set Up My Workstation/Laptop To Print?
To connect to a BSOE printer, please follow the procedure listed below for your operating system.
Windows
- Click Start
- Click Run
- In the dialog box, type \\cabernet and then click OK
- If prompted to log in, your user name is your BSOE user name, preceded by soe\ (i.e. type soe\username). Your password is your Windows login password.
- A window will pop up displaying all the available printers. Double click on one to install it on your computer. Once set up, you should not have to complete this process again on this computer.
Once the printer is installed, you should be able to see it by clicking Start followed by Settings and then finally Printers.
Macintosh
Please note that different versions of the Mac OS have slightly different paths to install a printer. If you have any questions, please contact .
- Open System Preferences
- Click Print & Fax
- Click the + button to add a printer
- Click IP Printer at the top of the box
- Select the Line Printer Daemon (LPD) protocol (it should be the default).
- Enter the address: spooler4.cse.ucsc.edu
- Enter the name of the print queue (luck in this example) under "Queue": luck
- Enter the name of the printer (same as the queue name usually, luck in this example): luck
- Select the printer model (HP LaserJet 4100 in this example) under "Print Using": HP LaserJet 4100 series v.3010.107
- After selecting the printer model under "Print Using" a dialog box will appear with installable options for the printer. Most BSOE printers have a duplex unit installed. Please check that the Duplex Unit button is checked.
- Click Continue
After you add the printer to your system, you should print a test page to make sure that it is functioning correctly.
Linux
All supported Linux machines are configured to use our CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) server, spooler4.cse.ucsc.edu. No user installation should be required.
Unsupported Computers
The BSOE technical staff cannot support personal laptops and/or workstations, and we do not allow unauthenticated users access to our resources (system logins, printing, etc). Therefore, printing from your unsupported workstation (personal laptop or desktop) is unsupported. However, using newer versions of Microsoft's Windows operating system, you may be able to authenticate yourself to the BSOE servers and print to the BSOE printers using these methods.
