There are several steps to setting up a printer, and you may need to follow one or more of them. Use your best judgement -- worst case, you can delete the printer and start again.

*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!

===Mobility Print===
To improve the printing experience for Chromebooks, we have enabled Mobility Print. We previously used Google Cloud Print which has proven to be unreliable. With Mobility Print there is a new workflow that students and employees must follow.


=== How to Add a Printer ===
When you print for the first time you will need to "Change" the printer to a Mobility Print enabled printer.
* [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Install-a-printer Instructions and video tutorial from Microsoft]


Some printers may not get installed automatically -- e.g. you're logged into a PC in Mow but you want to print to 9/10. If this is the case, you'll need to install the printer yourself. Here's how:
[[File:MobilityPrint1.png|200px|none]]


First open the '''Devices and Printers''' window (see [[#Where to Find Your Current Printers]]). At the top of the window, there's a button called called "Add a Printer." Click this button.
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 selected like the above image.
::[[Image:WINDOWS7 Add a printer.png|thumbnail]] <br clear="all">


This will open the Add Printer Wizard. Click '''Add a Network, wireless or Bluetooth printer'''. Click Next to continue.
[[File:MobilityPrint2.png|500px|none]]
::[[Image:Windows7 Add a network printer.png|thumbnail]] <br clear="all">


The next window will contain a list of all networked printers on both the Hill and River Campus.  You can sort the list by location or printer name.  Select the printer you would like to install, and then Click '''Next'''
Note: The following should only happen once but may continue to happen every time they print.
::[[Image:Windows7 printer selectaprinter.jpg|thumbnail]] <br clear="all">


After selecting the printer and clicking print, a new window will pop up. Here the you will need to log in with your username and passphrase, then click "Sign in and print".


The first time you install a network printer, it will take a minute or two to install the drivers.  Be patient as the software installs the drivers and configures the printer.
[[File:MobilityPrint3.png|200px|none]]
::[[Image:Connecting printer dialog.png|thumbnail]] <br clear="all">


Should this be your default printer? If it should, then check the box next to '''Set as default printer'''.  If this printer SHOULD NOT be your default printer, uncheck the box next to '''Set as default printer'''.
Your print job should be sent immediately instead of waiting next to the printer and having nothing come out.
::[[Image:Default printer.png|thumbnail]] <br clear="all">


If the new printer was added successfully if it shows up in your '''Devices and Printers''' window. Good job!<br>
==Printer and Copier Locations and Details==
 
=== Deleting a Printer ===
 
If you're getting printing errors, you can sometimes resolve the problem by deleting and reinstalling a printer. To delete a printer, open the '''Devices and Printers''' window (see [[#Where to Find Your Current Printers]]), right click the printer in question, and click Delete.
 
If the printer was your default printer, Windows will auto-assign a new default printer. When you add the printer back in, you'll need to reset it as the default printer.
 
== An RCS-managed [[File:Mac_OS_X.9_Logo.png|50 px]] desktop computer ==
 
You don't need to set up printers on any RCS-Managed Mac desktop of laptop -- we've done the work for you. Just click File > Print and the Print dialog box appears. A default printer is automatically chosen which is closest to your location. If your location has multiple printers available, you can select them from the drop down list. This is also handy when the default printer is broken or otherwise cannot print - just choose another printer close by.
 
If you can't find the printer you need or if printing doesn't work, you can always {{Tsreq}}.

Printing at school from a laptop computer you manage/control

If you need to print a document from a personal or school owned laptop please use printers installed through 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.


Printing to RCS_Copiers or H_Printers

  • 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.
  • 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 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!

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.)
