Laser printing from Macintosh in Room RR-104

We are pleased to announce that the DAVE program is installed on the Macintosh computers at the Computer Centre's Macintosh Laboratory located at Run Run Shaw Building Room RR-104.

Currently, the laser printers in the student laboratories are managed by the Samba software installed on the HKUSUA host computer. DAVE is a program which enables Macintosh users to login the Samba software
using the HKUSUA account name and password and then print to the laser printers in Room RR-103.

Printing units will be deducted from the user's printing budget in his HKUSUA account depending on the type of print-out requested:

  • 1 unit per black-and-white page
  • 10 units per color page
    • Procedure to login HKUSUA through DAVE on a Macintosh

    When a Macintosh is powered on, the DAVE 'Network Logon' window will be shown as follows:

    When the 'Network Logon' window appears, you can connect to the Samba software by filling in the data fields and then click the 'OK' button:

    "User name:" --- HKUSUA computer account name
    "Password:" --- HKUSUA computer account password
    "Domain:" --- HKUSUA

    If you click on the 'Cancel' button, the system would bypass the 'Network Logon' procedure.  You can get the 'Network Logon' window again in the middle of your Macintosh session by clicking on the 'DAVE Access' button in the 'Application' menu and select the 'Logon' entry from the Access menu.

    Should you have any questions regarding the DAVE program, please contact the undersigned.
