In order to print to one of the public printers in Fine Hall from a Windows computer (for example your laptop) you can use the windows print server printserver.math.princeton.edu. Note that you can access and use Fine Hall printers only within Fine Hall.

These are publicly available printers:

Windows printer name Printer location Printer type
\\printserver.math.princeton.edu\fine205 205 Fine Hall HP Duplex LaserJet 4250DN
\\printserver.math.princeton.edu\fine219 219 Fine Hall Cluster Dell Duplex LaserJet 5330DN
\\printserver.math.princeton.edu\fine305 305 Fine Hall (restricted access outside business hours) HP Duplex LaserJet 4350DTN
\\printserver.math.princeton.edu\fine318 318 Fine Hall Dell Duplex LaserJet 2330DN
\\printserver.math.princeton.edu\fine511 5th floor Fine Hall, outside offices 504 and 505 Dell Duplex Laser 5330DN
\\printserver.math.princeton.edu\fine811 8th floor Fine Hall, outside offices 804 and 805 Dell Duplex LaserJet 5330DN
\\printserver.math.princeton.edu\fine1111 11th floor Fine Hall, outside offices 1104 and 1105 Dell Duplex LaserJet 5330DN

While you may find other printers on finehallprint they are private printers reserved for use by their owners so please do not try to use them.

Note also that all of Fine Hall printers default to duplex (double sided) printing so you may have to change your printer settings if you want to print single sided.
