Connecting to the printer
First check to see if there is a printed paper near the printer itself with updated instructions. The instructions below were written by Jonathan on 2/12/18.
On a Mac: Go to the "add a printer" page, but at the top there should be three icons ("add a printer" and two others). You need to right-click (or control-click) on the blank menu area to the right of those icons and select "configure this menu". Drag the "Advanced" icon from the resulting window into the menu bar. You can now use the advanced menu. Next step: click that Advanced button!
- For protocol, choose "Internet printing protocol (http)". The printer URL is http://papercut.soe.ucsc.edu:631/printers/oops. Give it a nice name, like "oops in 515".
- For driver, select "Generic postscript driver".
One final choice as you add the printer: there's a checkbox asking whether the printer has a duplex unit. Oops does, so you should check the box. Add it and you should be able to print.
On Windows:
Go to the printers & scanners page and choose "Add a printer". It will try to find one for a few seconds, then give you the option "The printer that I want isn't listed". Click that. Choose "add a local printer or network printer with manual settings".
On the next page, select "create a new port". It should be a "Standard TCP/IP Port".
You can leave the box "Query the printer and automatically select a driver" checked if you want, but it's going to fail and you'll have to choose a driver. Unfortunately I didn't see a clear generic postscript printer driver, but you can choose a more specific one. Oops is an HP Laserjet P3015, so you can choose HP as the vendor and then scroll down to the "HP Laserjet P3011/P3015 PS Class" driver.
Add the printer, and you're good to go ... EXCEPT that it won't be configured with a duplex unit. After you've added the printer, go back to the printers menu, select oops, and press the "manage" button. On the resulting page, click "printer properties" from the left menu. On the new page, switch to the "device settings" tab on the far right. Under the "installable options" heading lower down, you should see "Duplex Unit (for 2-sided printing): Not Installed". Click on that, and you can change the value to "Installed". Do that, and click Ok or Apply to save the change. Now you're all set.
On Mac and Windows: You can follow similar procedures for lollipop in 501 (papercut.soe.ucsc.edu:631/printers/lollipop) if you need a color printer. Just remember it's shared, so be courteous about using it. The driver for that one in Windows is an HP Color LaserJet CP4025/4525 PS Class Driver.
