HLS-Licensed Software

HLS Laptop Print Client

  • Windows: Web-based printing
    • Printing from Windows laptops is Web-based. All Windows versions are supported, including Vista.
    • To begin a print session, point the browsers at the following URL: http://winprint.law.harvard.edu:30044/clientlauncher
    • Click the link on the opened webpage next to the text: "To run the Print Client, please click the link here."
    • In the following dialog, choose to execute the file "clientlauncher.exe." This will initiate a print session and allow you to submit print jobs to the dedicated laptop printers at HLS. A small icon will appear in your task bar labelled "LPT:One Print Client."
    • To end a print session, right click on the print-client icon and click on "Stop Print Client."
    • You may also save the file "clientlauncher.exe" to disk and execute it from there anytime you want to print. But update your locally saved version of the client from time to time by re-saving the file from the URL listed above to help ensure that your client is updated with the latest print-system configuration changes, if any (these are rare, and normally include adding or removing printers).
    • The same information is available at the ITS Windows software download site at http://www.law.harvard.edu/about/administration/its/resources/downloads.html and go to section entitled "HLS Laptop Print Client"
    • During any printing session, you will only need to enter your username and password once -- subsequent print jobs during that session will no longer require authentication.
  • Mac: go to http://www.law.harvard.edu/about/administration/its/resources/mac-software.html and go to section entitled "HLS Laptop Print Client"
