Printers
Available Printers
The departmental shared printers are restricted to accept jobs only from the main print server (print.phas.ubc.ca) which spools the jobs with CUPS (Common Unix Print Spooler). Departmental users are able to print to these printers either from a dept server ( ie ssh) or from their own workstations ( see below). Charges are levied for pages printed.
Undergraduate students should use Pay4Print service with their UBC Cards, which is the same system used by UBC Libraries. Here is the instruction on how to use the service:

The following conditions need to be met in order for you to print from your own computer
- Your computer must be able to send the printing packet to the local print server. The local firewall block packets except from trusted hosts. If you are connected to one of the dept LAN's -- your packets are passed through. If your on UBC wireless or some other network (eg telus, shaw), you will need to join the dept's VPN (Virtual Private Network) to be able to print.
- A print queue on your local computer must be configured to communicate with one of the queues defined on the print server. (see the platform-specific notes below)
- The local login name must correspond with your PHAS login.
- You can check the printer queue from this link: https://print.phas.ubc.ca:631/jobs/
