Printers on the Go!

While you were gone for the summer several of the EE printers were moved to the new MSEE building. In order to keep straight which printers are in which building, we have renamed the printers that were moved. Here is a list of the printers and with new names and locations.

Old name          New name                in MSEE

ed5               msd                      189a
ed6               msd2                     189a
ep                msp                      189a
ep2               msp2                     206
pi                msi2                     230

If you formerly sent program listings to the ed5 printer by typing the command

                        lpr -Ped5 prog.f

you could now send it to the msd printer in MSEE 189a by typing

                        lpr -Pmsd prog.f

Understanding that every once in a while you might absentmindedly type the old printer name, a temporary safety-net will "catch" your misdirected printing job and send it to the proper MSEE printer. Each time you do this, you'll receive a WARNING message reminding you to use the new name. The "name catcher" for old printer names will be removed on September 15th; so please get into the habit of using the new printer names by then.
