Manually configure an IU Print queue

On this page:

Overview

Most departmental printers and copiers are managed by UITS, and require you to use a specific queue. Queue paths managed by IU Print begin with \\EWA-PRNP00\XX_DeptCode, where XX is the campus code and DeptCode is the three- or four-letter department code. To get your department's queue path, contact your IT Pro. Once you have the queue path, follow your platform's instructions below.

Public student queues

The instructions below also apply to the public student queues. Note that for the public student queues you will need to be connected to an IU campus network.

  • Black & White: \\EWA-PRNP01.ads.iu.edu\IU_BW
  • Color: \\EWA-PRNP01.ads.iu.edu\IU_Color

Windows

  1. Select the Start button.
  2. Enter \\EWA-PRNPXX\, where XX is the print server number.
  3. Press Enter.
  4. If prompted for your credentials, enter ADS\dvader, where dvader is your IU username.
  5. The list of print queues available on the server will display. Double-click the queue name to open the print queue.
  6. Once the job list window appears, print to the queue from your desired program.
Note:
If you get an access denied error, your IT Pro may need to use a local administrator account to install the queues for you.

Linux

The process for adding a printer in Linux varies by distribution. See the vendor’s documentation for specific instructions. All installations should require the same basic information:

  • Protocol: LPD/LPR
  • Print Server: EWA-PRNPXX, where XX is the print server number
  • Printer Name: The name of the print queue provided by your IT Pro

If you are prompted to enter a device URI, you can adapt the following example:

lpd://dvader@EWA-PRNP00.ads.iu.edu/BL_DEPT_BW1
