2D Paper Printer

You are standing at the 2D printer station at Noisebridge. You see a large format inkjet printer, an inkjet all-in-one and a laser printer. EXITS: Hackitorium This page is about 2D paper printers. Are you looking for 3D Printers or the Vinyl cutter? We have a discussion channel on Slack named #printerbridge. Physical Location Printers and printing materials can be found on the tables in the back of Church classroom. Donating used or broken printers Printers are a maintenance liability. Please donate used or broken printers to eWaste SF at 2915 16th St. or Recology at 501 Tunnel Ave. instead. Print Server The 2009 iMac at the front desk is set up as a print server using Mac OS's built-in Print Server (AirPrint: How to Wirelessly Print From Your Smartphone or Tablet). Right now it's just AirPrint. Google Print or whatever should also be installed. Perhaps you, good Sir, Madam, or Xir, could install, configure, and document that fact here! The Printers listed below should show as available on the Noisebridge Network. If not, try installing Bonjour/ZeroConf on Windows/Linux, or simply print your file from the iMac by downloading from a Cloud service or transferring using File Sharing locally (SMB or AFS), or check the iMac & make sure the printers are on. Black and white printers Brother HL-5470DW Small laser printer. It eats toner and trees. It prints double sided. If you print text of greater than 1 page, *use the double sided option*. The you need half the number of pages! If you use it please consider throwing some money into the donate bin. Drivers: Brother HL-5470DW Remanufactured Toner @ Monoprice ~$20, "Brother TN720/TN750" How to Replace Toner drum unit, DR720 @ Monoprice Drum units last years even with copious printing—replacing this part should be a last resort. Paper: Please get some paper and place in the printer supplies cabinet under the printers. Linux Linux Drivers Get both the lpr and cupswrapper, and the printer should show up with it's model. If you're running a Ubuntu, for drivers try sudo apt-get install brother-cups-wrapper-laser brother-lpr-drivers-laser, but likely you will need the specific drivers from the link above as the 5470DW isn't included as of this note. Perfect support on Linux In Gnome Printer settings, type in the printer's IP address (10.20.0.145 as of this revision) and select JetDirect Printer and select the "Brother HL 5370DW/Postscript" driver.
