How to Use the CISER Research Nodes:   Printing

HOW TO PRINT FROM A CISER RESEARCH NODE:

• Printing to locally attached printers *:
  • Note: This method works with either Remote Desktop Web Connection or the Remote Desktop Client on your local computer.
  • The default for both is set to allow printer connections.  
  • To confirm this on the Remote Desktop Client select the "Options" tab -->then  under "Local Devices" be sure that the "printers" box is checked.
  • Connect to a CISER Research node  to see if the print driver for your local printer is installed.
    • Start --> Settings --> Printers.   
      • If your printer IS listed you should be able to print directly from CISER Research to your local printer(s).
      • If your printer is NOT shown in the current list of printers, send ciser@cornell.edu a message containing the following:
        • name of the computing node that you usually (e.g., rsch101)
        • the printer brand and model, and
        • the printer driver version
          • To know the printer driver version (for Windows users only):
            • Click on Start>Printers and Faxes
            • Right-click on the Printer in question
            • Select Properties
            • Click on the Advance tab
            • The printer driver name is found under the Driver: area
•  * Your local printer should be set to LPT1, USB, or COM port.

• Printing to a networked printer:
  • Contact ciser@cornell.edu for details.  You will need to know the name of the server to which you are attached, as well as the share name of the printer.  
    

Note:  If for some reason you are unable to print from the CISER Research nodes you have the option of  transferring the files to your local computer and printing from there.
