Any job printed to this printer must have your NetID as owner. This is not an issue if you print from any iLab computers (where you would be already logged in with your netid.) However, if you want to print to hill2 from a laptop, you will need to set your NetID as your laptop username name -- or you will not be able to release the job. Any jobs not released after 20 minutes get deleted automatically.

The hill2 printer is maintained by DCS, if you have any problems with actual printing (as opposed to quota/funding problems -- see the above URL for that), including the printer being out of paper or toner, please send mail to help@cs.rutgers.edu.

Please visit the printgreen website for additional information/rules/adding funds/FAQ related to the rules on this printer.

Important: Most common user mistakes in printing poster is forgetting to set the right paper size in 2 places before printing. You must set both paper size to the right size for
1. Document Page Setup - so the document will print in the size you want.
2. Printer Driver - so it knows what papersize is installed on the printer.

The best way to print poster is to print to PDF first. The PDF will give you a preview of what will be printed on the printer. When your PDF proof is ready, print the PDF file to the poster printer. Don't forget to check the paper size set on your printer driver before printing your poster.

If you need a freeware PDF writer for Windows, see BullZip, MacOS has built in ability to print to PDF.
