What's the use of buying those movie tix on Fandango if you can't save even more time by printing them here?
== Install Copiers on Riverdale Devices ==


==Printing at school from a laptop computer you manage/control==
=== Add Printers on macOS ===


If you need to print a document from a personal or school owned laptop you can use either of the following options
==== Employees ====
If you are a school-issued macOS device, install the copiers/printers you need through '''''[https://howdoi.riverdale.edu/wiki/Enroll_in_Self_Service Self-Service]'''''.


*'''[[Enroll in Self Service|Self Service]]''': Simple to setup, simple to use. '''The Best Option''' if you have an RCS-owned Mac laptop or are in the Upper School BYOD program.
# Click on the '''''Self Service''''' icon, a '''''red Riverdale logo''''' in your '''''Application''''' folder
*'''[[Print over the Web|WebPrint]]''': Simple to setup, more work for lots of printing, intended for light/weekly printing.
# Click on '''''Printers''''' in the left hand menu
# Select '''''RCS_Copiers''''' or another copier/printer you need


==Printing to RCS_Copiers or H_Printers==
This will install the printer/copier and relevant drivers on your school issued macOS device.


*After installing the printer from Self Service on a Mac or following the instructions below for PC print your document and select RCS_Copiers or H_Printers.
==== Students ====
*If you printed to '''RCS_Copiers''', go to any copier on either campus, log in (by tapping your ID card, using the keyboard, or scanning the QR code) and release your job. It will be available at any copier you walk up to.
If you are a student with a macOS device:
*If you printed to '''H_Printers''' go to 9/10 2nd floor, science lobby, 5001, or Mow 2nd floor and tap your card on the RF reader on the printer.
*Forgot your ID? No problem! Scan the QR code on the copier or printer with your phone (that needs to be connected to RCS-Community), log into the mobile release page and release your job!


==Printing from iPads, iPhones, etc.==
#Open '''''System Settings''''' and select '''''Printers & Scanners'''''
We are in the process of investigating print services for iOS-based devices.  
#In the right hand side of the window, scroll down until you see '''''Add Printer, Scanner, or Fax...'''''
#Click '''''Add Printer, Scanner, or Fax...'''''
#Scroll down until you see '''''rcs_copiers'''''
#Click '''''rcs_copiers''''' and then click '''''Add'''''
The printer is now installed! The first time you print to '''''rcs_copiers''''', you'll be asked for your '''''Riverdale username''''' and '''''passphrase'''''.
#Delete the text in the '''''username field''''' and enter your '''''Riverdale username''''' (ex. mvanmierlo23)
#Enter your '''''Riverdale passphrase'''''
#Check the box '''''Remember this password in my keychain'''''
You should now be able to print. If you encounter an error such as '''''Hold for authentication''''', then find a member of the Tech Team at Help Desk or around campus to help.  


==Printing from an RCS-Managed Chromebook==
=== Add Printers on Windows 11 ===
===Mobility Print===
#Connect to the '''''RCS-Community''''' wireless network and login with your Riverdale '''''username''''' and '''''passphrase'''''
To improve the printing experience for Chromebooks, we have enabled Mobility Print. Prior to Mobility Print to print via a Chromebook we used Google Cloud Print. Google Cloud Print has proven to be unreliable. With Mobility Print there is a new workflow that the students must follow.
# Be on the latest version of Windows.
#Press the '''''Windows key''''' or open the '''''Start menu''''' and type "\\carbon\"
#*If you encounter an error, press the '''''Windows key''''' or open the '''''Start menu''''' and type "\\carbon.riverdale.edu\" instead
#This will prompt for credentials choose '''''More Options''''' and use "riverdale\''username''" (ex. riverdale\mvanmierlo23) and press '''''Enter'''''
#This will bring up a window with all available printers. Double-click '''''the desired printer icon''''' in this window and that should install the printer and appropriate drivers
#Now when trying to print the dialogue should default to '''''RCS_Copiers''''' and the print job will be available any of the copiers. Your print job can be released by scanning your Riverdale ID at the desired copier.


When you print for the first time you will need to "Change" the printer to a Mobility Print enabled printer.
Note: ''A small number of our users require the PaperCut Client Application to be running in order to print. If you received an email indicating that you were one of these lucky people, please follow our installation guide sent to you individually.''

# Click on '''''Printer'''''
# Select '''''rcs_copiers'''''
# Click '''''Print'''''
# When asked for a '''''username''''' and '''''password''''', enter your '''''Riverdale username''''' and '''''passphrase'''''


You will see a whole list of printers, different than you are used to. Please scroll down to select the printer needed. The next time you print the printer should already be select like the above image.

# Select '''''See more...'''''
# Scroll down until you see '''''RCS_Copiers - [Universal]'''''
# Click on '''''RCS_Copiers''''' then click on '''''Print'''''

==Basic Printer Troubleshooting==
 
[http://www.ehow.com/how_7270716_basic-printer-troubleshooting.html Click here] for information about basic printer troubleshooting steps you can try if you are having difficulty with a printer.  Paper jam, blinking lights, and/or nothing prints are some examples of basic printer issues.
 
===If a document won't stop printing===
 
If a job won't stop, try pressing the red "Cancel" button on the printer repeatedly, wait until paper stops printing, and then turn the printer off. (If you turn it off mid-print, paper will get jammed, and the printer won't clear itself.)

Once the job has stopped printing, remove the jammed paper and turn the power to the printer off and then on again.
