Printing to the Library's Laptop Room Printers

To print to the Laptop Room's printers, the HP LaserJet 5200 printer and the Pharos software must be installed on your laptop. You must be connected to the "hopkins" wireless network (instructions here). Note that laptop printing will not work with the "JHGuestnet" wireless network.

Windows Mac OS X

For Windows, please perform the following steps:

To install the double-sided printer, Printer F

  1. To install the double-sided HP LaserJet 5200 printer (printer F) and the Pharos software, download the 32-bit installation application OR the 64-bit installation application, depending on which Windows version (32-bit or 64-bit) is running on your laptop (if you are unsure which version is running, go to the "Control Panel" and click on "System" to check). Make sure to select the option to save the file.
  2. After the file has been saved to your system, find it and double-click it. Click "Install" to start the installation process.
  3. When finished, click "Finish" to exit the installation window. The printer should now be installed on your system. The printer name will be "SAIS-Lib-2DS on SYSTEMS." Do not change the name of this printer.
  4. Once the printer is installed, you must download and run one more installation file to finalize the connection to the printer. Click here to download this file. Make sure to select the option to save the file. Once you have saved the file, double-click it and you will see a file called "ds-edit." Double-click the "ds-edit" file and you will quickly see a window appear, then disappear (if you see a dialog box confirming whether you would like to run this file, click "Run"). The printer is now ready for use.

To install the single-sided printer, Printer E

To install the single-sided HP LaserJet 5200 printer (printer E) and the Pharos software, download the 32-bit installation application OR the 64-bit installation application, depending on which Windows version (32-bit or 64-bit) is running on your laptop (if you are unsure which version is running, go to the "Control Panel" and click on "System" to check).
