Install Copiers on Riverdale Devices

Printing on macOS

Employees

If you are a school-issued macOS device, install the copiers/printers you need through Self-Service.

• Click on the Self Service icon, a red Riverdale logo in your Application folder
• Click on Printers in the left hand menu
• Select RCS_Copiers or another copier/printer you need

This will install the printer/copier and relevant drivers on your school issued macOS device.

Students

If you are a student with a macOS device:

• Open System Settings and select Printers & Scanners
• 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
• When asked for your username and password
  • Delete 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 on Windows 11

Windows 11 users can install printers using the following steps.

Prerequisite

• Connect to the RCS-Community wireless network and login with your Riverdale username and passphrase
• Be on the latest version of Windows.

Install RCS_Copiers

1. 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
2. This will prompt for credentials choose More Options and use "riverdale\username" (ex. riverdale\mvanmierlo23) and press Enter
3. 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
4. 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.

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.

Printing on iOS

iOS printing uses a function of Mobility Print provided by PaperCut.

• Click on Share
• Scroll down and click on Print
• Click on Printer
• Select rcs_copiers
• Click Print
• When asked for a username and password, enter your Riverdale username and passphrase

Printing on Riverdale Chromebooks

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.

When you print for the first time you will need to "Change" the printer to a Mobility Print enabled printer.

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.

Note: The following should only happen once but may continue to happen every time they print.

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".

Your print job should be sent immediately instead of waiting next to the printer and having nothing come out.

Printing and Releasing Jobs

• After installing the printer from Self Service on a macOS device or following the instructions below for PC print your document and select RCS_Copiers
• 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.
• 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!
