Materials Printing

Printing within the Department of Materials is generally achieved by printing to networked laser printers, although some direct attached printers are still in use within a few research groups.

There is central DigitalPrintroom located in ETB room 10.14 with printers and scanners available for all users.

Network printers available throughout the department are listed at http://iprint.materials.ox.ac.uk/ipp and can be accessed via an iPrint server which provides a mechanism for installation of relevant driver to each computer.

Detailed instructions with screenshots:

• installing iPrint printers under Windows
• installing iPrint printers under Novell

If you are in a hurry, then the brief instructions are :

• Open a web-browser like InternetExplorer or Firefox but not Chrome and not Safari. (Also note Windows7 must right-click and RunAs Adminstrator)
• Visit http://iprint.materials.ox.ac.uk/ipp(only accessible from within the Department)
• Click on the column header "Location" to sort by location then scroll down to find the nearby printer.
• Click on the printer name to automatically install the printer.
• First time you click on the printer you will be prompted to download and install the iPrint client after which you will need to restart your web-browser before trying to install the printer again.
• Printing requires authentication using your Materials0 account credentials, also many printers are restricted to certain users so you may not have permission to install a printer.
