Introduction

This information describes how to connect to the IPP print queues from Open Access Lab machines, dorms or through VPN.   This method of printing is the replacement for XPrint for the Math Labs. Currently, IPP printing is only supported in the Blocker, SCC, WCL and LIBANX computer labs.  Only black and white, letter size printing is available.

Note: Math Labs already have a custom, internal method of printing to these IPP print queues.
