Further printers and scanners can be found in the library Technische Zweigbibliothek. We do not operate those.

Modes

In order to print black/white on a color printer, append the letters bw to the printer name.

By default, only the front side of a sheet is used. To print in duplex mode, append a d to the printer name.

Tumble mode (suffix t) also prints to both sides, but also rotates the rear page. Use this for documents in landscape orientation.

Some modes can be stacked, for example to print in black/white and duplex on ps2ccip (a color printer), use ps2ccipbwd as the printer name.

Do it

To print the file script.pdf at printer ps2ccip use the following shell command: lpr -Pps2ccip script.pdf

To print from a document viewer, open the printing dialog and insert lpr -Pps2ccip into the Command Line field.

Problems

How to abort print jobs?

Follow the Howto abort a print job instructions on the poster near the printer.

The printer says "Papierstau" and refuses to do anything.

Please don't fumble with the device and ignore the instructions of the printer and instead contact us.
