Printing to the multi purpose copy systems from Windows

Hint: The new multi purpose copy system deployed on the campus owned by Ricoh Germany are administrated by the Facilities Management of the university. Please have a closer look at the infomation about usage of these devices at  information, hints and instructions.

 

The following instructions are aimed at employees and scientists at the university, who intend to use the multi purpose copy systems deployed on the campus area. Students have to use other devices that have a different payment system and also differ in handling.

Connect to print server

Your computer must be in the campus network or connected to the campus network via VPN. Start Windows Explorer and enter the following in the address line: \\campusprint.uni-kiel.de

If you are logged into the central AD of Kiel University, you will be connected directly. Otherwise, you have to log in with your identifier in the Active Directory. As username you can enter 'uni-kiel' followed by a backslash '\' and your RZ identifier or your UPN of the AD. The password used is the general account password, which is always used in the Active Directory.

If required, please notice: Information about logging in using different accounts on your local desktop and on central services (in german)

If your computer is not integrated in the Active Directory and you want to use the campus copiers without manual login, you should check 'Remember my credentials'. This will save protected the login information for using the printers at the server 'campusprint.uni-kiel.de' on your computer in the 'Credential Manager' of your user account. When sending a print job to the central print server, the credentials would then be used in the background from the Credential Manager; remember then to make any necessary updates to the stored password in case of password changes.

Important: Please make sure that the time of your computer is correct. Otherwise the authentication process will be unsuccessful. The time server available on the campus network is "ts2.rz.uni-kiel.de". (Notes on time synchronization)

If you have successfully logged in, you will see the public queue names for printers.

You can connect to a printer by doing a right-click on the printer symbol and then chosing 'connect' in the context menu that's popping up. The printer will be configured on your system and the corresponding printer driver will be automatically downloaded and installed.

It is recommended to install the following queues

  • SecurePrint_color (PCL-Driver, Color)
  • SecurePrint_sw (PCL-Driver, Black and White)
     

Queues with names ending with 'PS'

  • SecurePrint_color_PS
  • SecurePrint_sw_PS
     

are PostScript-Queues.

Any more eventually offered Queues are for internal use and should not be used.

Important: 

Before releasing a Job at a copy system you should check on the display, whether the print will be as you intended. So it might be possible that the print will be using color mode, although you sent the job into a black and white queue. A color print is more expensive than a black and white print, so be sure to check that before releasing a job.
