About CS Printing System
In CS Department, our printing systems have the following features.
- All print jobs must go thru a printserver known as printserver.cs.rutgers.edu
- Jobs can be printed only from inside RUNet or using VPN.
- Jobs must be printed using Postscript driver.
- All our printers are accessible to everyone who have access to the room the printer is located in.
Below are steps on how to prepare your computer to print to CS printers.
Step 1. Install Postscript drivers on your Windows OS.
Postscript driver is not installed by default. If you have not done so, please follow Installing Universal Postscript Driver on WindowsOS
Step 2. Setup printer queue(s).
There are 2 supported methods to print from WindowsOS that the printserver will accept. You may pick either method.
Step 3. Print Test Page
Except for the poster printer, artisan, after setting up your printer driver, please send 1 simple test page to the printer to make sure your setup is correct before sending a large job.
