General information

Available Printers:

• OKI ES7120 (lp3-hep)
• OKI ES7470 MFP (lp3-hep-colour)

These printers are available through a print server (hep-lp.physics.uoc.gr) featuring the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). In order to use any of these printers, please connect your laptop or desktop computer to the wired network.
IPP printer connectivity is supported in almost every OS:

• All major Linux distributions
• Mac OS X
• Windows Vista/7
