The printer queues in the Faculty of Environment is using the central print server queue, called printsrv.

All departments within the Faculty of Environment have been set up with a networked Ricoh IM C3010 Colour Laser Multifunction Printer. The supplies for these printers can be ordered through W Print.

To set up your computer to print to a departmental or unit printer, please follow the instructions for Windows and Mac computers below. These instructions are only for setting up faculty or staff computers on campus to the department printers - not the lab printers.

Before adding the Ricoh printers, you must be wired-in via ethernet to the campus network or connected to eduroam. If you are off-campus, make sure you are connected via the University's virtual private network (VPN).

You may also be interested in setting user code for printing at departmental printers and secure printing (i.e. Locked Print).

For technical difficulties, please raise a request to ETIS.

Note: ETIS does not provide support to any personal home/office printers.
