When printing your exams, don’t tie up the printer.
Please print one and photocopy the rest!
The photocopier is MUCH faster and can STAPLE.

Printing a book is an abuse of resources.
It is NOT allowed on any of our printers!
Do not abuse any of our resources!

Limitation:
  • There is no banner separator page when printing from PaperCut Queues. Make sure you pick up your jobs right away.
  • To print to CS Printers,  you may be asked to authenticate with your NetID credentials.
  • Access to the room requires your Rutgers ID card.
  • All CS Faculty/Staff and Graduate students can access the Core and Hill printer rooms. See the Keys and Keycards page to get access.
 
Printing Restrictions
  • Except for the Hill2 printer, you need keycard access to the room where the printer is located to get your printout.
  • Hill2 is a print and release printer. See note on Hill2 below for more info.
  • Artisan is limited to 1 page every 30 minutes per user.
    Please use the copier in Hill 381 to make multiple copies beyond your daily limit.
Using Public Printer for iLabs at Hill 2nd floor
  • Hill2 is the only publicly accessible printer. The rest of the printers are for CS Faculty/Staff Use only and are in rooms requiring special access.
  • The job sent to Hill2 does not get immediately printed — the owner must release the print job by swiping their RUID card to the card reader next to the printer and issuing a command to release.
  • Any jobs not released after 20 minutes get deleted automatically.
  • Printing to ‘hill2‘ will count towards your printing quota governed by University computing labs printing rules (the ‘printgreen‘ printing conservation program) as described in http://printing.rutgers.edu.
  • Issues with printing quota/funding problems — see http://printing.rutgers.edu.
  • The CS department maintains the Hill2 printer; if you have any problems with actual printing, including the printer being out of paper or toner, please see the staff on duty in the Coding and Social Lounge (CSL) at Hill 252.
  • Any job printed to this printer must have your NetID as owner. This is not an issue if you print from any iLab computers (where you would already be logged in with your netid). However, if you want to print to Hill2 from a laptop, you must set your NetID as your laptop username, or you will not be able to release the job.
  • Please visit the printgreen website for additional information/rules/adding funds/FAQ related to the rules on this printer.
Tips for Successful Printing
  • On a Linux shell, you can print single-sided using the following command:

lpr -P printername -o sides=one-sidedfilename

  • There are many options you can set with a CUPS driver. See CUPS printing options for further details. CUPS options do not work with SunOS machines.
  • For driver setup, see Printing to CS Printers from Windows, MacOS X, and Linux Operating Systems.
  • If you plan to print on paper other than ‘letter’ size, see the Paper Size Guide.
Poster Printing

Artisan, is a poster printer. You can only print from iLab machine. Please read the instructions on printing posters for the Artisan before printing. Artisan, our poster printer has 36 inches wide roll paper.

For help with our systems or immediate assistance, visit LCSR Operator at CoRE 235 or call 848-445-2443. Otherwise, see CS HelpDesk. Don’t forget to include your NetID along with descriptions of your problem.
