* Login with an administrative account on your PC (contact the computer staff if you do not have administrative
rights on your PC.  Set up TWO print queues to the printer on your floor as follows:

  Use the Windows print setup Wizard, but instead of browsing for a printer, type
              \\printserver1\queue_name  (for example \\printserver1\3 for the 3rd floor printer)
  where queue_name is either your floor number (3..8) or a (101b), b(B-127) or c (101).
  Before you do this, make sure that you have the appropriate printer driver installed on your computer. For the
  copiers on floors 3..8 select Ricoh Aficio MF C4501 PS as your printer driver. For printers a, b, or c select
  HP laserjet 4300
 
  The CUPS method:
  Use the Windows print setup Wizard and enter this web address:
            http://printserver1:631/printers/queue_name (for example http://printserver1:631/printers/3 for the 3rd floor printer)
  For the copiers on floors 3..8 select Ricoh Aficio MF C4501 PS as your printer driver.
