Printing in VMH

• MBA students receive 600 pages each semester that may be used in any lab and the Grad Lounge. 
• Faculty and Staff are assigned a printer according to their office location. They may also print to any of the VMH Network printers listed.
• Students hired to work in an office are given rights to those networked office printers by request from the faculty or staff member.  The request may be emailed to helpme@rhsmith.umd.edu by the faculty or staff member.

Anyone without a Smith Novell account may use the campus Pay for Print system in our labs.  Graduate Students have a quota of 600 pages/semester.  When that quota is exceeded they must use the campus Pay for Print system (visit our Pay4Print page).

Please be considerate of your peers.  Reserve large print jobs (50 pages or more) for less busy times.  Discard your unwanted pages in the appropriate recycling containers.   Print jobs not picked up may be picked up by mistake by others or cleared away at any time.

Installing a Network Printer

In order to add a network printer, you will need to install the Novell client.  All computers that are provided by Smith IT will automatically have Novell installed so adding a printer is simple.  Please visit our Novell Printing page on how to add a printer.

Novell client is only available for WIndows 2000/XP and can be found on our Novell page.  If you have Vista or Mac OSX, you will need to use iPrint.  iPrint will allow you to print to certain network printers (mainly the computer labs in VHM), but it does not give you access to your network drives.

iPrint

iPrint is a printing solution for those who can not install the Novell client on their computers.  Using iPrint requires you to download the iPrint client and it will work on Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Mac OSX.  Click on the printer that you want to add.  It will detect to see if you have the iPrint client installed.  If you do not, it will download the iPrint client and you will to complete the installation of the file (just click next until you see finish).

NOTE for Vista Users:  You must have SP1 installed in order to install iPrint.  If you do not know if you have SP1 installed or not, try installing the iPrint client.  If the installation fails, then you will need to install SP1.  Vista SP1 can be found at Microsoft's Download Center.
