MATH-HB-<room number>

such as the IP/Hostname Address to configure direct LPR printing, by
going on the web to:
http://riceprint.rice.edu
It will ask you to enter your credentials. It will be your Rice
netid and netid password:
Username: <netid>
Password: <netid password>
Once there, you will be presented with 10 printers at a time starting
alphabetically. You can click on the "Next 10 Printers" link until you reach the Math printers which all have the naming scheme:
MATH-HB-<room number>
The queue listing contains the IP/Hostname and printer model information.
You may also use the following link to view all available printer queues in one single page:

Due to legacy work, there will be some similar printer queues with the
word "math" in their name. They may do the exact thing as the new queues, but due to their current names, it may not be obvious as to where they print (which is why the new queues were created).
These legacy queues cannot be removed because they would break existing clients who are connected to them. As time passes, when IT visits machines, we will make sure to switch users over to the new MATH-HB-<room number> queues.
