Description
The RHRZ operates two printing systems that can be used to process print jobs from RPTU members: the fee-based follow-me system with distributed multifunctional devices on the Kaiserslautern campus and the Druckausgabe with its central printing service at RHRZ in Kaiserslautern and the multifunctional devices in the RHRZ PC pool in Landau.
The print services are basically available to all members of the RPTU at both locations, but printing / collection is only possible at the location that provides the respective service.
The following instructions explain the various ways in which you can send a print job to the RHRZ print servers and how you will finally receive your printout.
Prerequisites
- You need an RPTU account to use the RHRZ printer systems.

Option 1: Print dialog / print queue
You can send the document that you want to print in A4 or A3 format to the print queues on the RHRZ print server via the print dialog of your application, just as you are used to from your desktop printer, for example.
To do this, the printer driver must be installed once on your computer and the printer set up. To do this, you need administrator rights on your device.
Advantages
- Use as usual, e.g. from your own desktop printer
- Numerous print settings available (depending on the application used)
- No restriction to certain file formats
Disadvantages
- Printer driver must be installed once on your own computer (already pre-installed in the RHRZ pool rooms)
- Not available on mobile devices (smartphone, tablet, ...) and devices with ARM CPU
Option 3: Online printing via web portal (LD)
If you would like to print on the devices in the PC pool in Landau, you can also use the online print function at druckausgabe.uni-kl.de.
Instructions
- Billing via points credit: Large format (Druckausgabe)
- Billing via cost center: large format (follow-me)
Druckausgabe
The print job you send to the Druckausgabe print server is placed in a queue that is processed by RHRZ Druckausgabe employees during operating hours.
For A4 and A3 jobs, you will receive an e-mail notification as soon as processing of your print job begins. For large format jobs, you will receive a notification once your document has been successfully uploaded and a further notification once processing of your print job has been completed.
Finally, you can collect your printed documents, posters or plans from the Druckausgabe output room (Building 34 / Room 256).
Follow-me
You will receive an e-mail notification as soon as your print job has been processed in the Follow-Me system.
You can then start printing on a multifunctional device of your choice.
PC pool of the RHRZ
You will receive an e-mail notification as soon as your print job is available on the Druckausgabe print server.
You can then start printing on one of the devices in the Landau PC pool. (Similar to printing on the multifunction device in the Follow-me system)
