Laddie (HP LaserJet 3035xs MFP)
laddie was purchased through grant funding by
Professor Darryl Yong for use by the department. It's the primary
black-and-white printer for use by faculty and staff, and also
serves as a color scanner (paper-to-PDF) and fax machine.
Drivers
Mac OS X
Support for this printer is included in Mac OS X.
Windows
Support for this printer is available through Microsoft for Windows 7. Drivers for Windows XP can be downloaded from HP.
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.
