 ====== 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>
+Printing to the Xerox copiers (and faxing via the 147 copier) no longer requires a copy code, although regular copying does.
-===== Set up print accounting =====
+</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.
-==== Mac OS accounting setup outline ====
-  * File->Print
-  * In the printing window, find the popup that includes Xerox Features and click on that.
-  * Another popup appears in that window. Find Advanced in that popup and click on that.
-  * Then, click on Accounting.
-  * Then select Xerox Standard Accounting or Auditron and put your departmental printing code in the place by "Default User ID".
-===== Limited linux support =====
-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.
 ===== Printing by web =====
-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.
+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**
-  - If printing from wireless, or outside Tate Lab, first log into the physics web site, to create the needed network firewall opening.
+  - visit the print page for the required copier (note, you may be asked to accept a new SSL certificate to connect to these pages):
-  - visit the copier print page at either https://xerox147.spa.umn.edu/print/index.php or https://xerox335.spa.umn.edu/print/index.php
+    * 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
-  - **enter your copy code as "User ID".** Without this, the copier will reject your job and print only an error page.
   - click **Submit job**
