Printing in the Herrling Lab

There are currently three LAN - accessible printers located in the Herrling Lab. These printers service network Queues and NDPS printers defined on the Linden LAN. Access is limited to persons with network user accounts.

• HP Laserwriter 8150
• HP Color Laserwriter 4600
• Epson Stylist Color 900 inkjet

HP Laserjet 8150

ATTENTION: The departments of Plant Pathology and Entomogy currently provide printing on this printer at no cost to the users of our LAN. This is not a "free" service, however, and if it is abused the departments will be forced to charge back for it's use. (Note: the system keeps track of numbers of pages printed by each LAN user)

Windows users will get a window detailing these costs when the print job is submitted. Mac users will not.
