In case a printer has not been installed on your workstation, here is a handy reference to install a Research printer under Windows, Mac, or Linux.

If you have a Mac or Linux machine with an automatic DNS discovery tool, such as Bonjour, Avahi, or Zeroconf, you can browse the network for these printers to add them. The printers will show up with a name listed below (like sr-isoroku); further details in each operating system section.

Install a Printer

Note: to print to the Konica Minolta BizHub printers, please follow the directions listed here.
 You will need to know the printer's IP address, which is: 142.58.183.4 or 142.58.183.5
The department code / password must be obtained from your supervisor.
 
For all other printers, please use the following directions:

  1. To install a new printer, find out which printers are closest to you and note the printer's hostname, such as sr-isoroku.iat.sfu.ca. You can find a complete list below.
  2. Follow the guide below for your operating system to add the printer:

Can't Figure Out How to Enable Duplex Printing?

  • If you can't enable the duplex printing on your printer (currently only available on Lexmark black-and-white printers with the duplex paper feed tray mounted underneath), go into your Devices and Printers page, right-click on your printer, and in the context menu, click on Printer Properties.
  • Then click on Device Settings tab, and find the entry for Duplex printing. If you're using Windows 7, you can click on the hyperlink beside it to set it to Installed. If you're using Windows XP, if it doesn't show up in the right hand column, then select it in the left hand column, and then click on the Add button, which then adds that option.
  • Once that's done, you can then go back into the Devices and Printers page, right-click on your printer, and then in the context menu, click on Printing Preferences.
  • You should now be able to alter the option for Duplex Printing, or Print on Both Sides.
