Printing from your Drew-issued Windows PC or Mac to the Library printers is simple, and allows you to release jobs at the Library as if you printed from their workstations. Before you can print there, however, you need to connect your Windows PC or Mac to the Library print queue.

The following instructions are for cash release only. To pay with your Drew Debit card, be sure to install the Library_DrewDEBIT_BW_Public printer and print to that.

Windows PC

  1. Go to Start, and in the search bar, type

    \\offset

    and hit Enter. 

  2. If you are not using a Drew-issued PC, or your computer is not logged into the Drew Novell Network, a screen will come up asking for your userid and password.
    1. In the Username field, use DREW-AD\yourusername where yourusername is the part of your Drew email address before the "@".
    2. Use your Drew uLogin password for the password.
  3. In the list of printer icons that appears, find Library_CASH_BW_Public. 
  4. Double-click Library_CASH_BW_Public, and the printer driver will automatically download and install on your computer.

     

     

When you see the above window, the printer is connected.

Be sure to double-click Library_CASH_BW_Public, not Library_CASH_BW_Public_1 or Library_CASH_BW_Public_2. The Library_CASH_BW_Public queue will balance between the two printers automatically.

You may now choose "Library_CASH_BW_Public" as a printer from your applications. When you print to it, it will go into a hold queue, and can be released from the library Cash Release Station or, in a pinch, by library staff.

To install the Library_DrewDEBIT_BW_Public printer and pay with your Drew Debit (Bookstore) account, follow the above instructions, but replace all instances of "Library_CASH_BW_Public" with "Library_DrewDEBIT_BW_Public".

NOTE: Jobs will remain in the queue for only 1-2 hours, so be sure to go to the print release station and print within an hour.

Mac

For Drew-Issued Macs:
  1. Open System Preferences and choose Print & Scan.
  2. At your printer list, click the + at the lower left.
  3. In the Add Printer window, under Default, choose the OFFSET-Library_CASH_BW_Public printer (for cash release).
  4. In the Use: Choose a Driver or Printer Model drop-down, choose Generic PostScript Printer.
  5. When you get back to the Print & Scan list, click Options & Supplies.
  6. Click the Driver tab, and check Duplex Printing Unit to enable the Duplex (Two-Sided) printing option.
For Non-Drew-Issued (Personal) Macs:

Follow the above instructions. The first time you print to the printer, you will be prompted for a username and password.

Authenticate with your uLogin credentials (e.g. replace "Name" with fmanna, not Frank J. Manna). Check "Remember in my Keychain."

You may now choose "OFFSET-Library_CASH_BW_Public" as a printer from your applications. When you print to it, it will go into a hold queue and can be released from the library Cash Release Station or, in a pinch, by library staff. To pay with your Drew Debit (Bookstore) account, follow the above instructions, but replace "OFFSET-Library_CASH_BW_Public" with "OFFSET-Library_DrewDEBIT_BW_Public". Then print to OFFSET-Library_DrewDEBIT_BW_Public from within your application.

NOTE: Jobs will remain in the queue for only 1-2 hours, so be sure to go to the print release station and print within an hour.
