 ====== Printing to Xerox copiers ======
-These are very basic outline directions. Printing to the copiers should already be set up on our dept-managed Windows (active directory) and linux systems.
+Printing to the copiers should already be set up on our dept-managed Windows (active directory) and linux systems. These are very basic outline directions for self-managed computers
-Here are the print driver manuals for the Xerox 5775 copiers:
+You should [[http://www.support.xerox.com/support/workcentre-5765-5775-5790/downloads/enus.html|download and install the  most recent driver from Xerox]]. Of the available options, the driver we use for Windows is the **Xerox Global Postscript** print driver, which should work for any of our Xerox network printers, as well as the copiers.
-  * {{:computing:network:print:xerox:print_guide_ewin_en_en.pdf|Windows (standard driver)}}
-  * {{:computing:network:print:xerox:gpd_install_guide_en-us.pdf|Windows (Global print driver)}}
-  * {{:computing:network:print:xerox:print_guide_emac_en-en.pdf|Mac OS X}}
-You can find drivers on the Physics web site under MyPhys, although you may prefer to download direct from Xerox, as we won't promise to keep ours up to date.
+After installing the driver, proceed with setup using the standard method for "jetdirect" (port 9100) printing.
-The driver we have available for download for Windows are the Xerox Global print drivers (PostScript), which should work for any of our Xerox network printers, as well as the copiers.
+<note>
-===== Need to set up print accounting =====
+Printing to the Xerox copiers (and faxing via the 147 copier) no longer requires a copy code, although regular copying does.
+</note>
-You must set up the print driver to use page accounting, using your personal copier code from MyPhys. If you don't provide your copy code, the machine will print nothing but an error page.
+===== Printing by web =====
-===== no linux support yet =====
+The Xerox copiers also support printing by uploading a file through the web. This should work for any print-ready file including Postscript or PDF, and avoids any need for you to install a driver. **This will only work from a university network connection**
+  - visit the print page for the required copier (note, you may be asked to accept a new SSL certificate to connect to these pages):
+    * https://xerox147.spa.umn.edu/print/index.php
+    * https://xerox335.spa.umn.edu/print/index.php
+    * https://xerox-pan-211.spa.umn.edu/print/index.php
+    * https://xerox-pan-411.spa.umn.edu/print/index.php
+  - use the "Browse" button to locate the file you want to print
+  - click **Submit job**
-Although printing to these copiers works from our dept managed linux systems, making it work for other systems requires special editing of the PPD file, which is beyond the scope of what we can provide help for on this website.
