Available printers
Printer names correspondent with the location in the building:
- h0, h2, h3: hall h-gebouw, number indicates floor
- without location (double, color, etc): hall h-gebouw, first floor
- h146, n121: indicates room or corridor near room
Some printers have multiple names (printer queues) like h238 and h238single, in this example the name indicates respectively the default double-sided A4 print format and the alternative single-sided A4 format. Note: lower and upper characters are not distinctive, in other words H146 is equal to h146.
