We have a discussion channel on [[Slack]] named #printerbridge.

==Physical Location==

Printers and printing materials can be found in the printing room on the ground floor, near the door.

==Donating used or broken printers==
Printers are a maintenance liability. Please donate used or broken printers to [https://www.ewastesf.com eWaste SF] at [https://goo.gl/maps/vj7Digd3Ared9WQW9 2915 16th St.] or [https://www.recology.com/recology-san-francisco/sf-transfer-station/ Recology] at [https://goo.gl/maps/rGqik9raeucMTCw56 501 Tunnel Ave.] instead.


== Canon MF642C ==
'''Working as of 2023-10-17'''
Accessible through the Noisebridge Cap Wifi. Prints letter size. If it's not working, try installing and reinstalling the printer (Systems Preferences > Printers and Scanners on MacOS).

If it encounters a paper jam, you may be able to clear it by removing the paper cassette and then the sheet-feed tray immediately above it. The jammed sheet should then be accessible for removal. Put the sheet-feed tray and paper cassette back in, and then try to resume or retry your job.

== Print Server ==

The 2009 iMac at the front desk is set up as a print server using Mac OS's [https://www.dummies.com/computers/macs/how-to-share-a-network-printer-in-mac-os-x-snow-leopard/ built-in Print Server] (AirPrint: [https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/6060-how-to-print-smartphone-tablet.html 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 [https://learn.adafruit.com/bonjour-zeroconf-networking-for-windows-and-linux 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.

====Linux====
[http://support.brother.com/g/s/id/linux/en/index.html?c=us_ot&lang=en&comple=on&redirect=on 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.

[https://www.openprinting.org/printer/Brother/Brother-HL-5470DW 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.
