US ATLAS Analysis Support Center at BNL
Introduction
The mission of the Analysis Support Centers (ASC) is to support the U.S. ATLAS detector performance and physics analysis activities. These centers are expected to provide U.S. ATLAS physicists with training on how to use ATLAS software via tutorials and one-on-one interaction. The ASCs are also expected to support physicists making visits for help with their analysis and/or more advanced software features. It is anticipated that the ASCs are home to a community of users making occasional visits and contributing to the intellectual vitality of the centers. The ASCs play an active role to ensure that U.S. ATLAS physicists effectively participate in the overall ATLAS working groups.
The support at the BNL ASC is provided by the ATLAS groups in the
Physics Department at
Brookhaven National Lab, in connection with the regional groups in the US Northeast.
US physicists are encouraged to contact the personell for any analysis needs, as well as to make use of the facilities at BNL.

Printers
Printing from the ACF farm
On the acas farm, if you want to print, you should log on to atlas00.usatlas.bnl.gov. The printer queue is atlasdc, and the command is
lpr -Patlasdc filename
Either text file or ps file can be printed. The printer is the large Xerox machine (also a copier) in the printer/mail room (1-81) at the end of the Omega Group hallway.
Printing from laptop on the Visitor Wireless Zone
The same Xerox printer, atlasdc, can be reached through a CUPS server. There is also a HP printer in room 1-105 (next to the coffee lounge) for wireless access only.
To print from your laptop, you need to set up a printer queue on your laptop.
- For windows, Goto Control Panel==> Printer and Fax ==> Add a Printer ==> A network printer ==> connect to a printer on internet, and use these url
- For HP printer, http://cups:631/printers/phyconfrm.bnl.org
- For Xerox printer, http://cups:631/printers/atlasdc, in both cases, select the driver for Generic, and MS color printer.
- For Mac OS X, Goto System Preferences==> Print and Fax ==> "+" to Add a Printer ==> Protocol: Internet Printing Protocol - IPP==> Address: cups:631 ==> Queue:
- For Xerox printer, Queue: printers/atlasdc, select the driver for Xerox Documentation Center 432(?)
- For HP printer, Queue: printers/phyconfrm.bnl.org , select the driver for HP Laser Jet 4100 series(?)
- For Fedora, System==>Administration==>Printing (or system-config-printer as root). Use New to add a printer; put in the queue name, select a queue type of "Networked CUPS (IPP)", server cups, and the additional parameters:
- For Xerox printer: queue: /printers/atlasdc, model: manufacturer Xerox, Document Center 400 (or just use generic postscript)
- For HP printer: queue: /printers/phyconfrm.bnl.org, model: use generic postscript. (The HP-specific setting may not work.)
- You should be able to figure it out for other Linux distributions from the above!
