Computing Services Maintenance and Important Network Printing Announcement, (3/29)

Computing Services is performing two minor maintenance activities tonight (3/29) which include a reboot of several campus web servers and the LDAP server beginning at 9:00 PM during our maintenance window. No noticeable impact is anticipated for our users.

***Print Server Migration Info and Deadline- Please Read***

Computing Services is in the process of migrating to a new print server and decommissioning the old one. The new print server (SRVPRN2) has been in service since last summer, and many people are already using it. Any printers that have been set up since last summer are likely set up on the new print server. To finish the migration off of the old print server, we need to have each employee delete any mappings that may be pointing at the old print server. Different network printer mappings show up for each logged in user, so each user that logs into a computer must go through this process.

The old print server will be shut down on 4/5/12 as part of our Thursday night maintenance. Please make sure you complete this process before then.

When you look at your printer list, please delete any that may say PRINTERNAME on SRVPRN1. All your printers should be listed as PRINTERNAME on SRVPRN2.

Here are how-to articles on deleting and re-adding printers:

As part of Adams State College’s sustainability initiative, all printers that are capable of duplexing (double-sided printing) will be set to do so by default. Users will still have the option to print one-sided if they change the setting in the document print properties.
If you have any questions or need any assistance, please call the Computing Services Help Desk at x7741.

Thank you,
