Printing in Color There are two locations on campus, where you can make color printouts: Building 11 Copytech, and W20 Copytech Express. Building 11 Copytech is open 8am-7pm Monday through Friday. You can ftp files from Athena to their machines and print them, at $1/page for 8.5x11 and $2.50/page for 11x17. These printers do NOT have Athena print queues - thus you cannot use the "lpr" command to print to them. For more information on CopyTech, please see http://web.mit.edu/ctc/www/ (Note that CopyTech is not affiliated with Project Athena or Information Systems) The color printer in W20 Copytech Express is called "w20color". To print to it, use the standard printing commands such as "lpr". For example, to print a color postscript file called picture.ps, you would type: lpr -Pw20color picture.ps It is located inside CopyTech Express, at the back of the room. There is no charge for printing color documents to this printer, however print usage is logged. Do not print multiple copies of the same document to this printer - using printers as photocopiers is a violation of the Athena Rules of Use. Also, please limit the use of this printer to academic purposes only, especially during the end of the term. There are a lot of people who use Athena, and this is the ONLY Athena color printer. N.B. You may see references to "The color printer in 4-035" or a printer called "color-4-035". This was a color printer in the 4-035 cluster. It no longer exists in that cluster. It has been moved to W20 CopyTech and renamed "w20color" (see above). Last Updated: 23 October 2002 |
