Wireless Printing to GoPrint on Grizznet

The GoPrint system that has been installed for print management campus-wide can now be accessed from your wireless laptop when you are connected to the Grizznet wireless network (find out more about Grizznet Wireless network access). The directions below will show you how to add the GoPrint Printer to your computer and send documents to the Release Stations/Printers in Kresge Library.

Here may be found instructions for:

Networked printer paths:

For printers on the 2nd floor, reference area:
\\goprnsrv.sys.oakland.edu\gprinter10

For printers on 2nd floor, Information Commons area:
Black/White/Greyscale printer: \\goprnsrv.sys.oakland.edu\KLICGoPrint

5. You will get a warning message about a print driver. Select "Yes," as you need this printer driver to use GoPrint.

6. You can make this your default printer if you choose. If you don't, you'll need to select it from the "File > Print" options in whatever program you are using (meaning the simple print buttons won't work, so if that matters to you, select "Yes"). Click "Next"

7. You'll get a confirmation screen letting you know the printer has been added.

Picking up your Print Job


1. Your print job will appear on the screen under your computer's name. To find out what your computer's name is in Windows right click on My Computer on your desktop, choose Properties. Then, in Windows XP, select the Computer Name tab in the window that pops up. In Vista, the name will be listed under Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings section. For Macintosh computers, click on the Apple icon in the upper left part of your screen, click on About this Mac, then click on More info... Your computer's name will be displayed on the gray bar at the top of the window that opens.

2. Go to the appropriate print release station (2nd floor reference area for grprinter10 black and white, and 2nd floor Information Commons area for gp_color_kresge for color printouts or for KLICGoPrint b&w) and select your computer's name in the computer print queue. Your print job will be located in this queue. Follow the on screen directions and you'll get your printout.


Setting up wireless printing on Apple computers

Using Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard)

Setting up wireless printing on an Apple Macintosh is slightly different from installing on a PC. The most important information is:

Networked printer paths:

Network Printer Address:
141.210.8.28

Queues:
For printers on 2nd floor, Reference area
gprinter10

For printers on 2nd floor, Information Commons area
KLICGoPrint (black & white)
gp_kresge_color (color printer)

 

1. Click on the Apple icon in the upper left part of the screen (in the menu bar). Choose the System Preferences from the drop down window. This window will open:

Mac System Preferences

2. Click the Print & Fax icon. You will see a window similar to this one:

Add Printer screen

3. Click on the plus (+) sign (circled in red, above). You will be presented with the Printer Browser window. Below is an example of the settings necessary to connect to the black and white printer in the Reference Area. Your configuration must include these settings; IP Printer, Protocol = Line Printer Dameon - LPD, Address = 141.210.8.28, queue = [one of the queues from the box above, gprinter10, for example], Print using = Generic Postscript Printer (or, if you are connecting to the color printer, as in Example 2, below, select the Ricoh Aficio CL7100 PS). Then click the "Add" button.

Mac printer Settings
