Harvard Mathematics Department : Computing: Mac Printing

To set up a printer from Mac OS X at the Math department, for example from a wireless laptop, add a network printer with name http://lw2.math.harvard.edu Remarks:

all the public printers can duplex (two sided) except lw4 (the second floor printer).

If you want to have duplex printing as default, choose from the print dialogue

File -> Print Layout -> Two Sided | Long-Edge Binding -> Presets: Save As: Duplex.

If you want to switch duplexing on and off on a per-job basis, via the following steps: (using Preview as the example program)
```
File -> Print -> Layout -> Two-Sided | long edge binding
```

Using HP Jet Direct (Prefered)

In the printer setup utility, chose HP Jet Direct-Socket and enter the address of the printer like lw2.math.harvard.edu.

Chose Duplex Unit.

In the Print->Layout menu, chose Long-edged binding

Using LPD (for non HP printers)

Use this also for HP printers, if the above method should not work.
