New Print Server

by

With the ending of Microsoft support for Server 2008, we are moving a new version of print.eecs into production, running Server 2016, effective Wednesday morning, January 15, 2020.

All print queues have been migrated to the new print server, and lpd service as well, so existing print clients should not need any configuration changes, and should just be able to keep printing as expected.

If you do have any problems with printing via print.eecs, please report them to help@eecs, and we’ll attempt to fix them as soon as possible.
