The LibeLab is a mixed-OS computer lab in the reference area of the 4th floor of the library. It is maintained by SCIC and is the home of the ResearchITDesk.
The LibeLab contains 4 Macs and 16 Dell PCs, all of which can print to the four laser printers in the building. There also two standard-size scanners. Also located on the library 4th floor is the DrawingBoard, a PC with a large flat-screen monitor and SmartBoard overlay. This computer is maintained by the library.
There are also two regular PCs in this lab maintained by the library. One is adjacent to the ResearchITDesk, and the other is attached to the microform reader. If there are problems with these two PCs, contact Eric Hinsdale.
There is a color printer behind the circulation desk on the fourth floor. It is currently not included in the standard lab build, so it has to be manually added if you want to print from it, because it gets removed when the computer restarts. It's an HP Color LaserJet 8550, and the IP address is 137.22.11.48. The instructions below apply to this printer:
For Windows: Go to the Add a Printer wizard in the left pane of the "Printers and Faxes" window, which can be found in the Control Panel. Press Next, and then check the “Local Printer Attached to this Computer” box, and uncheck the "Automatically Detect and Install my Plug and Play Printer" box. Then check “Create a New Port” and in the “Type of Port,” choose “Standard TCP/IP Port.” Type the IP address in the space provided (137.22.11.48). If necessary, install the correct printer driver, Hewlett-Packard HP8550 PCL. If you have any questions or don't understand something, please ask the SCIC worker at the library reference desk.
For Mac OS X: Open Printer Setup Utility. Click add. Change protocol to "Line Printer Daemon (LPD). Give the address 137.22.11.48. Leave the remaining fields blank and click add. After doing this, you can print from any application by selecting it from the printer list in printing options.
Note: This solution is known to work in OS X 10.4.1, but has not been tested in previous versions. It should work in lower versions of OS X, but let the SCIC know one way or the other.
