This page is about 2D paper printers. Are you looking for [[3D Printers]] or the [[Vinyl cutter]]?
Information about any printer accessible within the Noisebridge network should be listed here. If you're adding a new printer, a good suggestion would be to post user/password information physically onto the printer.


If you need to connect to a printer try searching for printers within your OS's printer config doodad. Currently they should automagically show up, if not see what tossing around the IP address of a printer can do for you.
We have a discussion channel on [[Slack]] named #printerbridge.

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.

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!
