Laddie (HP LaserJet 3035xs MFP)
laddie was purchased through grant funding by
Professor Darryl Yong for use by the department.
Drivers
Mac OS X
Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) includes everything you need to install and
use laddie. It should be visible using the default
browser in the Print & Fax preference pane.
For older versions of Mac OS X, it seems that you'll need to install HP's driver package.
Windows
We have a custom installer (114
MB) that will give you everything you need to start printing to
laddie. Note that the Windows installer also includes a
FAX driver that will allow you to “print” to send a facsimile from
your computer.
Linux
laddie is available on the math department's main
print server. Just choose laddie in xpp or
specify -Pladdie on the command line.
For you do-it-yourself types, the PPD file from openprinting.org will get you started.
Additional Functions
In addition to printing, laddie has some other useful
features. The touch-screen interface includes information that will
help you perform these functions.
Access to these functions is restricted to department members by a
PIN system. The PIN for laddie is the same as the PIN
for the copier.
Scanning to PDF
laddie can be used to scan documents (single- or
double-sided) to PDF, and mail those PDF files to
arbitrary e-mail addresses. Department members are already included
in the address book for this purpose.
Faxing
laddie incorporates a facsimile machine, so faxes can
be sent from its console (or by printing to it from a Windows machine)
as well as accepted from outside fax users.
Copying
laddie can also be used as a low-volume, double-sided
copier.
Job Storage and Retrieval
It is possible to store commonly used forms and other documents for easy printing from the console.
