The Linux account is accessible from all office Y-terminals by selecting the item enna in the menu of hosts. There is a Y-terminal suitable for visitors in room 612, just to the right of the door; or maybe use one of the terminals in the "honours students" room 729/730.
Your account and any remaining files will be deleted shortly after your
departure date.
You can use print via CUPS/IPP or LPR/LPD. For names and locations
of all our printers, that you can use with LPR, see
https://www.maths.usyd.edu.au/loc/comp/alpha/printing.html;
for the subset you can use with CUPS, see
http://siv.maths.usyd.edu.au:631/printers.
For CUPS: set the server to be siv, either have the line
For LPR/LPD: set up (each) printer by choosing host siv, and
queue r7lw (or c0lw mslw etc); use
any (generic?) PS driver.
For LPR/LPD: Set up each printer by going to
System Preferences,
Printers & Scanners, and click add printer
at the bottom of the list. Choose type IP and
Line Printer Daemon - LPD, address
siv and queue r7lw (or c0lw mslw
etc); some name; use any (generic?) PS driver.
Below it says any PS driver: almost any, but certainly
not the Microsoft PS (PostScript) one. In the
driver selection menu, maybe click WindowsUpdate, and (after several
minutes!) see it populated with many drivers. Some that seem to work
well are HP LaserJet 2500 PS and
HP LaserJet 3050 Series PS, as well as the
"proper" Ricoh MP7500 PS and
Ricoh SP C420 PS drivers.
For CUPS: go to Control Panel,
Devices and Printers, choose
Add a Printer, then click
The printer that I want isn't listed
at the bottom. Choose
Select a shared printer by name and type
name http://siv.maths.usyd.edu.au:631/printers/r7lw (or
c0lw mslw etc); use any PS driver.
For LPR: go to Control Panel,
Devices and Printers, choose
Add a Printer, then click
The printer that I want isn't listed
at the bottom. Choose
Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings,
with a new LPR port, host siv.maths.usyd.edu.au and
queue r7lw (or c0lw mslw etc); some name; use
any PS driver.

Other access: laptops (and other non-School-managed computers)
Wireless
Wireless networks are operated by central ICT (not by Maths support), please
see
https://www.maths.usyd.edu.au/s/scnitm/psz-Laptops-WirelessAndWiredC.
Wired network
If you have a laptop or other computer (including ICT-managed PCs and
Macs) and it has an RJ-45 UTP Ethernet port, it may be possible to
provide a connection for it in your office (on our internal School
network), please ask if interested: please see
https://www.maths.usyd.edu.au/s/scnitm/psz-Laptops-WirelessAndWiredC
about some setup. (You need to set automatic network address recognition
via DHCP, and set web browsers to use direct access i.e. no
proxies. The connection is behind a
transparent proxy
firewall).
SSH access
You may access your Linux account on enna via ssh, with
plain password from the School internal wired network, or with 2-factor
authentication (e.g. from "home" or from a wireless connection): see
https://www.maths.usyd.edu.au/u/psz/ssh-howto.html
instructions, maybe also the incoming ssh link on the School
Local Front Page
https://www.maths.usyd.edu.au/local.html
for some comments.
ICT printing
You may (or not) be able to use ICT FMP (Follow-Me Printing), please
see the ICT KB article
https://sydneyuni.service-now.com/sm?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0011262
There are two FMP printers in the School, the Fuji devices
in rooms 728 and 533.
Linux users see here for more detail.
School printing
ONLY
when connected to the (wired, internal) School networkPrinting from Linux
Note that some software can use CUPS, some can use LPR, some can use
both.
CUPS_SERVER=siv
in your /etc/environ file, or have the line
ServerName siv
in your /etc/cups/client.conf file.
Or maybe, set up each printer: host siv, and queue
r7lw (or c0lw mslw etc); use any (generic?)
PS driver.Printing from Mac
For CUPS: On recent Macs (since MacOSX 11 or so), set up each printer by
going to System Preferences,
Printers & Scanners, and click add printer
at the bottom of the (empty?) list. Choose type IP and
Internet Printing Protocol - IPP, address
siv:631 and queue printers/r7lw (or
printers/c0lw printers/mslw etc); choose some name,
use (driver) Generic PostScript Printer; click
Add.
I wonder why Apple
broke
their
very own
software:
up until MacOSX 10.6, setting
ServerName siv
in file /etc/cups/client.conf worked just fine.
Some web references suggest to use a command something like
lpadmin -p 'r7lw in 728' -E -v ipp://siv:631/printers/r7lw -m everywhere
instead of the rigmarole with SystemPreferences.
Printing from Windows
For CUPS or LPR printing: first (once only) go to Control Panel,
Programs and Features, Windows Features,
Print and Document Services and select (either or both)
Internet Printing Client (for CUPS) or
LPR Port Monitor (for LPR).Support
