This page might contain Outdated Information. It needs to be fixed.

What's Outdated: We only have one printer, no more print server, hive13int is dead long live Tenants, etc

Hive13 currently has two printers available for member use. They are both configured through our print server located at deadtrees.at.hive13.org. This has the advantage of centralizing configuration of the printers so that settings need only be changed in one place and also allows both printers to use the generic postscript printer drivers available in Linux, Mac and Windows (XP and up) rather than hunting down the manufacturer drivers. The printers should be configured on all of the spaces PCs. Below are instructions for setting them up on your own computer.

HP Laserjet 4200 (Black and White Laser Printer)

Black and white laser printer, full duplexer (two sided printing).

Xante ColourLaser v9 (Color Laser Printer)

Full color laser printer, no duplexer.
