Printing
Brandeis partners with Ricoh to provide campus with all-in-one machines that handle printing, copying, scanning and faxing.
These multifunction machines enable members of the Brandeis community to:
- Release a print job to any copier on campus by swiping a Brandeis ID card or by entering a username and password,
- Print from a cellphone or mobile device,
- Print in color,
- Fax from some copiers,
- Print confidentially and securely from shared copiers,
- Utilize new technology and best practices in print management,
- Reduce wasted paper.
Brandeis ITS is replacing all our faculty and staff Ricoh multifunction printing devices. The current Ricoh hardware was installed on campus in 2018 and is nearing end-of-life and serviceability. Upgrading to new machines will contribute to Brandeis’ continued commitment to reducing waste and our carbon footprint.
Additional information is available on the Multifunction Copier Replacement page of the ITS website. The replacement project is expected to be completed by mid-November 2023.
Selecting a Print Queue
The print queues for the new machine are different from existing devices. Users must select the appropriate print queue to print from the new device. Please remember that you must re-select your original print queue if subsequently printing on an older machine. Once installations have been completed across campus, the older print queues will be deleted to reduce confusion.
Windows Print Queues
Print queues for Windows PC devices were automatically added and should be available from your print destination menu. If your Windows print queue is not available on the menu, please contact the Help Desk at help@brandeis.edu.
The following new print queues are available for a Windows PC device.
- Brandeis FACStaff B&W on PPRCUT-APP-PROD
- Brandeis FACStaff Color on PPRCUT-APP-PROD
Mac Print Queues
Users may need to add a new print queue to their Mac device to make it available on their print destination menu. Please refer to the instructions for adding a new print queue to a Mac device.
Once the new print queues have been added, please select one of the following to print from your Mac.
- brandeis facstaff b&w
