Dear all,
Based on the notification forwarded by Martin, the printers (scotch or
agave) are working from my pc after I got VPN connected. If you have a
problem on this issue or others related to printers, please let me know so
as to resolve common or specific printer problems. I'm not sure but
recently, the printer generates strange outputs which will be probably
resolved by this change (from direct to VPN connection for printing).

Dear colleagues,
I just got this message from the physics department IT head. Apparently
FAS IT has changed the way that network printers are handled, so you may
now need to be connected to the VPN in order to print to scotch or agave.
Cheers,
-Martin

Subject: Changes to the network will affect printing
Hi, Grads.
Just a quick note to let you all know that HUIT has just made a drastic
and unannounced change to the campus network. They recently swept the
entire Harvard network and changed the networking on all printers they
found so that they can only be connected to from the wired network or, if
you're on WiFi or off campus, via VPN.
I only just learned of this. This affects _all_ network printers on the
network which you print directly to, such as the G1 and G2 printers and the
Physics copiers.
So if you need to print while on wireless, make sure to have VPN set up
and ready on your computer (which will, virtually, connect you on the
campus wired network).
HUIT's VPN how-to/details can be found here:

and here

Thanks,
Maggie McFee
