Browse Space | We have replaced the Toshiba printers with Konica Minolta printers on Oktober 26th and 27th
Therefore the printer name has changed to QpilotKonica. This change will not automatically update your already installed QpilotToshiba printer and you need to install the QpilotKonica printer. After Oktober 27th you can safely delete/uninstall the QPilotToshiba printer. |
If you are working on a JACOBS domain computer, you need to be logged in with your JACOBS user account.
If instead you are working on any other Windows computer, you need to authenticate yourself with your JACOBS user account upon connecting to the print server !
The fastest way to setup the network printers is:
- Open an Explorer window (not Internet Explorer, but only Explorer, keyboard shortcut Windows-E), e.g. "My Computer"
- in the "Address" bar enter (or copy & paste from here): \\sprint01.jacobs.jacobs-university.de
- a new window opens, listing shares and printers
- double-click on "QpilotKonica"
- eventually, a window pops up to install the printer, click "Yes" and wait a few seconds
- a window pops up showing the printer queue
You can now use that newly configured printer in any print dialog of Windows.
Could the word "Toshiba" please be exchanged with "Konica" in some of the sentences above?
The new printer "QpilotKonica" does not work for me. I've tried using Windows XP the way I usually log on. Replicating the same behavior, the old printer (QPilotToshiba) still works.
After 10 days, it still doesn't work. Yes, sent e-mails too.
It works now.The procedure above did not work for my laptop, and IT was unable to try to figure out why. However, the procedure below worked on my Windows7 x64 Dell XT2:
Please note, that we do not encourage installation of Qpilot software, as it adds another level of indirection, and is generally not needed. You may use it as last resort.
Jacobs domain-connected computers (Thomas Heine's XT2 is not) do not need the client software, the workflow on this page is heavily tested and works.
The old printers are still available after logging onto spring01. Will they be removed eventually?
What happens to the old color-printers and other non-Toshiba printers?
For those who do not use their windows domains or need to enter their credentials manually for whatever reason: Don't forget to add JACOBS\ in front of your username so that it reads:
