* We have a group printer in the lab (Ekeley E150), which can print double sided and color. If you need to print to it from a new computer, you can find the CD in the software repository, or download the drivers from the [http://www.hp.com HP web site].

* We have a group printers in Cristol 334 and Cristol 441A, which can print double sided and color. If you need to print to it from a new computer you can use these instructions to access the printer in Cristol [http://tinyurl.com/jwr85wf 334] or [http://tinyurl.com/nxhym29 441A], or download the drivers from the [http://www.hp.com HP web site].

* If the printer complains about low toner, get the toner out and shake it as this often elongates the life of the supplies (try not to get the ink all over yourself as I often do).

−
* If shaking the cartridge doesn't work, change the toner, and MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE ANOTHER NEW TONER CARTRIDGE OF THAT COLOR. If not, please let Michael know so that he can order a replacement. The printer will not print if one of the toners is empty. In particular, it will not even print in B&W if one of the color toners is empty. For this reason we need to always keep one spare of each toner, otherwise we can be stuck without a printer for several days.

For this reason we need to always keep one spare of each toner, otherwise we may be stuck without a printer for several days.
 
* Toner cartridges are very expensive (hundreds of $$) and we change them often, so they are a significant cost for the group. There are restrictions on how to pay for them, so please conserve them by not printing unneeded stuff (e.g. don't print a 100-page report if you really only need to read two pages), and print in B&W if you don't need color.

=== How do I print to the CIRES Copy Room Printer/Copier/FAX/Scanner on the 3rd floor? ===
 +

The Printer/Copier/FAX/Scanner in the CIRES Copy room is a Konica/Minolta bizhub C454e.  You will need to download and install the [http://cires.colorado.edu/jimenez-group/software/Drivers/KM_UniversalDriver_pcl_v2.50.0.0_x64.zip Konica/Minolta biz C454e  drivers].  After installing the drivers you will need to "Add a printer" in Windows.  Once configured per the instructions below, printing to this printer will cause a dialog box to appear asking you to enter information.  Leave the "Department" box blank, and enter the appropriate printer code (see [http://tinyurl.com/nsdlwc9 Grants+Email] sheet in JG_Organization) into the password box and click OK.  Your document should then print.
