Queen’s recently established a printing policy which is aiming to replace desktop printers with shared Xerox multi-function devices (printer/copiers) in central areas. While we’re not making use of their printing facilities at the moment, in the medium-term, once all our building moves are sorted out, we will be.

If you’re using a computer which is on the Queen’s Active Directory then the new campus-wide print queues show up automatically – otherwise a little effort is required. I have a set of notes on how to print to these queues from OS X (10.8 & later), Windows 7, and Linux, though the latter case is ‘difficult’.

Mac users who are part of the Munki-managed service will be able to install these print queues with a single click from Managed Software.
