Printing

The NPG maintains a network print server on jalapeno.unh.edu to which users with NPG Linux accounts can print. This server currently manages Wigner, an HP Color Laserjet printer in DeMeritt 362.

Users can also print to UNH Library and Cluster printers, but UNH charges per page for the service. Printouts to the UNH Cluster queue can be picked up in the Physics Library on the first floor of DeMeritt.

Wigner

Wigner is an HP Color LaserJet 4700dn network printer located in DeMeritt 362. It is only accessible via the Samba print share on corn (address smb://corn.unh.edu/wigner). You will need to have a system administrator create a Samba account on the print server in order for you to be able to access the printer.

NOTE: Printing to corn only works on wired connections, or connection via the authenticated unh-highspeed wireless network. You cannot access the print server via regular UNH wifi. This is due to UNH's firewall policies, and not something we can control.
