Student Printing

If you are a student, you may print at one of the many library and residence hall locations.

Departmental Printing

Please ensure that these requirements have been met:

• You are authorized to use the Department of Statistics printers, otherwise your computer may receive "Hold for Authentication" when printing.  If in doubt, contact the System Administrators by emailing trouble@stat.berkeley.edu.
• You are either connected to the eduroam wifi network or to ethernet. You cannot print from CalVisitor.

Printers

Our printers have their respective locations in Evans Hall as part of their names.  Note the make and model of the printers to determine the driver required by your operating system with certain exceptions listed in the "Notes" column.  

You can also upload-to-print your documents to the mail room Xerox copiers.

Note: All of the printers (queues) listed below require CalNet authentication in the following manner:
The CalNet username must be preceded by "campus\", e.g. "campus\jdoe01". This is literally the word "campus", the Active Directory domain, and not "berkeley".
The password is the same as your CalNet username password.

Contact trouble@stat.berkeley.edu if you have questions.

Windows

Configuration

1. You will need to set a network path to the printer which is of the form \\ls-printserver.ls.berkeley.edu\STAT-{PRINTER}. For example \\ls-printserver.ls.berkeley.edu\STAT-365-WC1.
2. Enter the path.
   
   1. For Windows versions other than 8 or 8.1, click the Start menu and type the path into the search box at the bottom.
   2. For Windows 8 and 8.1:
      1. Press the Windows Key + R to get the run dialog prompt or:
         1. Hover over the bottom-right corner of the screen to ultimately get the search bar.
         2. Type "run"
         3. Execute the "Run" program to get the run dialog box.
      2. Enter "\\ls-printserver.ls.berkeley.edu\STAT-365-WC1." without the quotes and click ok.
      3. Wait a few minutes and if successful Windows should start downloading the printer drivers.

   There may be a delay of a few minutes.

3. If prompted to login, enter your CalNet ID for the user name and CalNet ID passphrase for the password. In some cases, you may need to enter your user name as campus\<your_calnet_id>.  (literally specify "campus" and not "berkeley") Be sure to check the box to save your login information. The driver will download from the server; it may make a few minutes.

Linux

Please ensure that the HP and Xerox drivers are installed on your system.  Some distributions may have these drivers available through their package management software. To print via any CUPS-aware application such as Google Chrome, gedit, or evince:

1. Visit http://localhost:631 in your web browser. If CUPS is properly installed you should see the CUPS management page.
2. Visit Manage Printers.

7. Select the Make of the printer you noted in step 1. Click Continue.
8. Select the Model of the printer you noted in step 1. Click Continue. If your computer doesn't have the right driver, you may need to set the driver to be a Generic PostScript printer.
9. Click on the name of the printer where the wizard says Printer PRINTER has been added successfully.
10. Click Configure Printer.
11. Modify the printer options according to your liking. You may wish to set simplex or duplex printing for example.

Note:

• When prompted for authentication enter campus/your_calnet_id for your username and your CalNet passphrase for your password. (literally specify "campus" and not "berkeley") This is a forward slash, rather than a backwards slash as on Mac and Windows.
• You may need to put client max protocol = SMB2 in the [global] section of your /etc/samba/smb.conf.
