Printing to the HP LaserJet Printer
in the O'Connor 30 Computer Lab

Prenote: Necessity of Individual Login

In February 1998, the O'Connor Computer Lab, O'C 30, was upgraded. Students now have access to the laser printer, but must first login to the campus Novell network before attempting to print. Unlike the Orradre and Kenna labs during 1997-98 which have default local printer routings, the O'Connor lab requires specific login to the network and specific redirection of the default printer to the local printer.

NOTE: Current plans call for the Kenna and Orradre labs to be reconfigured during the summer of 1998 to support the same sort of an individual network login procedure to enable printing in the lab.

Network Login

Activing the Network Login Window

To log into the network, one activates the Novell Network Login window by either

clicking on the shortcut icon to NetWare Login on the desktop, or
restarting Windows95 and explicitly requesting a login as a different user (Start -> ShutDown -> (last option) Close all programs and log on as a different users), or
choosing NetWare Login as follows: Start -> Programs -> Novell -> Netware Login

Entering Your Username

Because the network in the O'Connor Computer Room is part of the University Enterprise Network, it may be necessary to specify usernames and resources using their full path (or name). (This procedure will always work whereas the username alone may not always work.) Using the full path for a username may also be necessary if a previous user is still logged on.

The full path

for Undergraduate students is: .username.ugrad.students.scu
for Graduate students is: .username.grad.students.scu
for Faculty/Staff is: .username.users.scu

NOTE the use of periods before each segment of the full form!

You then enter your Novell Network Password. If you do not know or remember your password, contact the help desk in Kenna 101.

If your username and password were entered successfully, you will now be logged in to the Novell Network and have access to the standard network resources. The Novell Network script will open another window and process your login. At the end, close the "Login Results" window.

Default Printers

If you have designated a default printer in your Network login script, your PC printout will automatically be routed to that printer, whether that printer is in your room, in your residence hall, or in another place. Merely because you are using a computer in O'Connor, this does not mean that automatically printout will come to the O'Connor printer!

Lacking such a personally-defined printer, the default printer will be the O'Connor HP LaserJet Printer.

For those who have another default printer, to use the O'Connor printer, you must specifically change the default for your session to O'Connor if the software you are using requires this to be done.

Borland C++

When using Borland C++, to print a file, one chooses the Print option after choosing File (leftmost option on the top menu bar). Prior to printing the first file, one should choose the Print Setup option and choose the second ("Specific Printer") option, which is labeled "HP LaserJest Series II on \\SCU\.MATH_LAB_LJ2...".

Other Software

Other software is configured similarly for printing to the O'Connor Printer, or may have specific instructions for printing locally.

Questions or Problems?

For problems with getting or finding out usernames or passwords, contact the student help desk in Kenna 101 (NOT the lab TA) at 551-1705.

For problems with the password or username not working, call the I.T. Service Center at 554-4082.

For questions about software in the O'Connor Computer Lab, contact Fr. Smolarski SJ (O'C 32) or Dr. Chiappari (O'C 101).
