MTL provides a number of printers for the general use of the community, and assists in the setup of networked printers purchased by research or administrative groups.
General Use Printers
MTL owns three printers for use by all MTL users.
A Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4050TN - This printer is identified as mtlhp1 on all computers within MTL and is configured as the default printer for MTL.
A Hewlett Packard LaserJet M402DN - This printer is identified as mtlhp2 on all computers within MTL.
A Hewlett Packard Color LaserJet M553 - This printer is identified as mtlcolor on all computers within MTL.
If you need assistance due to the printer being out of paper or toner then please send a message to problems [at] mtl.mit.edu (problems[at]mtl[dot]mit[dot]edu).
Private Research Group Printers
MTL supports research group owned printers as long as they are networked (i.e. they have a fixed IP address). If you need help or suggestions on what to order, please email problems [at] mtl.mit.edu (problems[at]mtl[dot]mit[dot]edu) and someone will get back to you.
Please request a hostname/IP before you order your printer. Having an available IP address before the printer arrives makes set up goes faster. Please do not setup or attempt to setup a network printer without contacting problems [at] mtl.mit.edu (problems[at]mtl[dot]mit[dot]edu). MTL will setup and configure your printer and assist you with any maintenance and repairs but an outside vendor contracted through MIT typically must handle any serious repair. Note that MTL does not pay for any supplies or hardware repairs for research group owned printers.
