| |
SLAC 5 Feb 1997
You may wish to replace your Imagen printer connected to VM by the end of general service of VM on March 1, 1997 or the final shutdown of VM by December 31, 1997. SCS has had positive experience with the following printers:
- HP Laserjet MX -- There are number of these onsite.
- QMS 1725 -- current model 2060: duplex black/white, double input tray.
- QMS Color LX -- current model CX: color on paper/transparencies, 2 input trays.
You can test printing on the following two QMS printers in the Computer Building Lobby. Call the Help Desk at (415) 926-4357 if you have questions about how to change your default printer to these printers.
- QMS 1725e (black/white):
- From UNIX, use the print queues cgbtst1 (one-sided) or cgbtst1d (duplex)
- From a Mac, use AppleTalk Zone QMS 1725E SYSTEM.
- SCS is working on procedures for printing from Windows NT. Check back here later.
- QMS Magicolor LX.
- From UNIX, use the print queues cgcgb1b (paper from top tray) or cscgb1bt (transparencies from bottom tray).
- From a Mac, use AppleTalk Zone QMS Magicolor LX. Note that you need to use AppleLaserwriter driver 8. If you don't have it, find it on Public Disk 1, folder System Software, folder Print Drivers and follow the installation instructions. Also, you need to install the proper QMS configuration files. You can find them on Public Disk 1, folder System Software, folder Printer drivers, folder QMS Drivers.
