• Hill2 is the only publicly accessible printer. The rest of the printers are for CS Faculty/Staff Use only located in rooms which require special access.
• Job sent to Hill2 does not get immediately printed — print job must be released by the owner by swiping your RUID card to the card reader next to the printer and issuing 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 hill2 printer is maintained by CS department, if you have any problems with actual printing, including the printer being out of paper or toner, please see staff on duty in CAVE or send mail to help@cs.rutgers.edu.
• 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 be already logged in with your netid.) However, if you want to print to hill2 from a laptop, you will need to set your NetID as your laptop username name — or you will not be able to release the job.

•  Generic usernames like administrator, anonymous, guest, nobody, root, user are NOT allowed to print to our printserver.

On a Linux shell, you can print in single sided, using the following command:
lpr -Pprintername -o sides=one-sided filename

Important: Most common user mistakes in printing poster is forgetting to set the right paper size in 2 places before printing. You must set both paper size to the right size for
1. Document Page Setup – so the document will print in the size you want.
2. Printer Driver – so it knows what papersize is installed on the printer.
3. Due to a bug on the driver which fails to detect paper type, you may have to release the print job personally on the poster printer or nothing gets printed.

The best way to print poster is to print to PDF first. The PDF will give you a preview of what will be printed on the printer. When your PDF proof is ready, print the PDF file to the poster printer. Don’t forget to check the paper size set on your printer driver before printing your poster.

If you need a freeware PDF writer for Windows, see BullZip, MacOS has built in ability to print to PDF.
