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 CUPS print queue on jalapeno (address ipp://jalapeno.unh.edu/printers/wigner). You will need an NPG user account in order to access it. There are some issues printing via jalapeno from systems with older versions of cups. This includes RedHat or CentOS 5.4 and Mac OSX Tiger.

NOTE: Printing to jalapeno only works on wired connections. You cannot access the print server via UNH wifi. This is due to UNH's firewall, and isn't something that we can control, as far as I know.

UNH Library / Cluster Printers
