The Hackspace is currently in posession of several printers. Some work, some are untested.

Working

HP Laserjet 2200D

This is a Black and White duplex printer with its own Jetdirect card and will possibly replace the Laserjet 1022.

  • Replacement toner: 96A
  • Location: Beside the desk with Lovelace.
  • Paper size: A4
  • Type: Black and white laser printer
  • Static IP address allocated via DHCP: 172.31.24.9
  • Status: Working. (any issues contact Sully)
  • Duplex (2 sided) printing - Under installable options on your printer configuration set "Duplex Unit (for 2-sided printing)" to "installed"

Driver: HP Laserjet 2200 driver comes with most operating systems. You can use a PCL or Postscript driver.

It's auto discoverable via mDNS from Mac OS, Windows 7, Linux and various other operating systems.

If you need to set it manually the hostname is caxton and the ip address is 172.31.24.9. It supports HP Raw printing, LPD and IPP via ipp://caxton.lan.hack.rs:631/ipp

When setting a printer up manually configure it to connect to a printer over the network to the hostname "caxton" or if necessary the IP address, then if prompted select HP Raw printing, LPD or ipp and then select HP Laserjet 2200 (PCL or Postscript) as the print driver.

HP LaserJet 1022

Please make a donation towards the running costs if you use the printer.

  • Replacement toner: 12A
  • Location: Beside the desk with Lovelace.
  • Paper size: A4
  • Type: Black and white laser
  • Affixed to: Babbage
  • Addressable via: CUPSd on Babbage
  • Status: Working.

To clear the print queues 

Browse to http://babbage:631/jobs/ and it should be apparent what to do.

To print from a laptop use:

  • Driver: HP LaserJet 1022 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.5 (grayscale, 2-sided printing) HP Driver Download Page
  • Connection: ipp://172.31.24.101:631/printers/gutenberg

HowTo: Add the HP LaserJet 1022 in XP

  • Download the HP LaserJet 1022 driver from the HP website / support section. If that doesn't work, install the 1020 laserjet driver.
  • Install, but cancel when it asks you to plug in the printer
  • Start->Control Panel->Printers and Faxes->Add a Printer->Add a Network Printer->Connect to a printer on the internet or in a Home / Office Network (add this to the url field): http://babbage:631/printers/HP_LaserJet_1022
  • Then manually select the HP Laserjet 1022 driver from the list.

HowTo: Add the HP LaserJet 1022 in Fedora 14

HP Laserjet Pro CP1025

If it doesn't, at least for XP follow the instructions above for the 1022,

but use the URL http://babbage:631/printers/HP_LaserJet_CP1025

Recycling cartridges

Please don't thrown them in the bin, we have now a simple process for this:

- use the already printed postage-paid forms you'll find on the office file shelf, under the sticker called "Recycling forms" (in the main room, on the left of Tesla)

- Use the new toner's box to recycle the old one and stick the postage-paid form on it. Then drop it to the post office

- Alternatively you can print your own forms on HP recycle's site here.

Other Inventory

Note on babbage

The version of ubuntu we run on babbage has a bug that means it dosn't share printers via dns-sd (aka rendevous, bonjour, mdns), see this:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/465916

Looks like this works now (?)
