Printing for faculty and staff members

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).

The printer queues in the Faculty of Environment uses 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.

Please follow the instructions for Windows and Mac computers below to set up your computer to print to a departmental or unit printer. These instructions are not for lab printers.

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 support any personal home/office printers.

Click Search (next to the Start button), type Run in the search bar, and then press Enter.
In the Run window, type \\printsrv, and then click OK.
Determine the name of your printer based on your location or department from the following table.

Department	Printer name	Printer location

Department	Printer name	Printer location
Dean's Office	env-deans-prt4	EV1 330
Dean's Office	env-deans-prt6	EV1 108
KI	env-cki-prt1	EV1 204
GEM	env-gem-prt2	EV1 319
SERS	env-ers-prt3	EV2 2014
PLAN	env-plan-prt4	EV3 3207
SEED	env-seed-prt3	EV3 4322
ETIS	env-etis-prt2	EV2 1008

Find your Ricoh in the list using the "Search printsrv" search bar at the top-right of the window.

Double-click on the printer you want to add to install.

Download the Ricoh printer driver for your OS.
Double-click on the .dmg file you just downloaded, and then double-click on the .pkg file.
Complete the Ricoh installation wizard.

Note that there are two methods to add printers from here depending on the printer you will be connecting to:

Method 1: Command Line (for SEED and PLAN groups)

Open up Terminal, which you can search from Launchpad.
Then, from the table below, copy and paste the command line for your group printer into the terminal, and click return on your keyboard.

Department	Printer name	Printer location	Command Line

Department	Printer name	Printer location	Command Line
PLAN	env-plan-prt4	EV3 3207	lpadmin -p env_plan_prt4 -D "env-plan-prt4" -E -L EV3-3207 -v lpd://printsrv.uwaterloo.ca/env-plan-prt4 -m "Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/RICOH IM C3010" -o ColorModel=Gray
SEED	env-seed-prt3	EV3 4322	lpadmin -p env_seed_prt3 -D "env-seed-prt3" -E -L EV3-4322 -v lpd://printsrv.uwaterloo.ca/env-seed-prt3 -m "Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/RICOH IM C3010" -o ColorModel=Gray

If the printer is not printing coloured documents, follow these steps:

From LaunchPad, search and open Terminal.
Depending on which printer you are connected to, copy and paste the corresponding command line into the terminal:

For printer env-plan-prt4

lpadmin -p env_plan_prt4 -o ColorModel=Gray

For printer env-plan-prt3

lpadmin -p env_seed_prt3 -o ColorModel=Gray

Press Enter on your keyboard.

This method provides a work-around for the issue with coloured printing for these printers.

Method 2: Mac Interface (for any other groups besides SEED and PLAN)

Go to the System Settings, then Printers & Scanners, and then Add Printer, Scanner, or Fax....
Select the globe icon, set the address to http://printsrv.uwaterloo.ca , and the protocol to Line Printer Daemon - LDP.
For queue, name and location, see the table below and enter the details of the printer you want to add.

Department	Printer name	Printer location

Department	Printer name	Printer location
Dean's Office	env-deans-prt4	EV1 330
Dean's Office	env-deans-prt6	EV1 108
KI	env-cki-prt1	EV1 204
