CIS offers five printers for student printing. They are best accessed using the Student Printing queue, which sends the job to all five printers, then is released once a user authenticates using HMC Credentials. Instructions for setting up Student Printing are as follows:
Installing the queue:

1. Open System Preferences and go to Print & Scan or Print & Fax.

4. Under “Type”, select “Windows”.
5. Type the url smb://print.hmc.edu/studentprinting into the box labeled “URL”.
6. Under “Print Using”, select “Generic PostScript Printer” and click “Add”. If you want to enable double-sided printing, ensure the “Duplex Printing Unit” box is checked. Then, click “Continue”. You will then be configured for student printing at HMC.

Printing with Student Printing places your job in a queue that can be accessed at any of the 5 network student printers.
1. Print your job to the student printing queue. The default names are print.hmc.edu on Mac and studentprinting on Windows.
2. If you are logged into a lab computer with your HMC credentials, the document will be sent straight to the queue.
3. If you are logged into a lab computer with a generic login (e.g. “hmcguest”) or are using your own computer, a pop-up window will ask for your HMC credentials (hmc/username).
note: If you are logged in with a generic login, do not select the “Remember me”
or “Remember this in my keychain” option (other students will print to your
account and you will not be able to access their documents).
Correct OS X authentication syntax.
4. Once you have sent your document to the queue, go to the printer to which you want to print and login with your HMC credentials at the release station. Select the document you want to print from the screen.
5. Retrieve your document from the printer.
note: your print job will be stored in the queue for 24 hours.
Print using the web interface:
1. Go to https://print.hmc.edu:9192/app
2. Enter your HMC Credentials (the same username/password used to log in to Charlie or Gmail)
3. Click on the “Web Print” tab on the left, then on “Submit a Job”
4. Follow the prompts to select the student printing queue and number of copies, then upload your document.
5. Your document has now been sent to the student printing queue. Walk up to any of the release stations located near the printers and enter your HMC Credentials to release your job.
