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 Pro CP1025
- Came from Sol
- uses the ZjStream protocol, drivers were installed from: http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/
- attached to babbage
- seems to just work across the network
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.

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:

Looks like this works now (?)
