The queue EdPrintPull on edprint.is.ed.ac.uk should already be in place on University-supported Windows PCs and laptops, you can check under 'Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners'.
If the queue is not visible on your supported computer, you can add it manually:
The central Subversion service, which Informatics users were previously directed to, is scheduled to be closed down in the near future. Users of the service are being advised to migrate to the central Gitlab service. At time of writing, the School has not made any decision on whether to offer our own SVN service or repeat the University's advice. If you have strong feelings on this, please make them known in a support ticket.
Cosign is a single sign-on (SSO) web login technology developed at the University of Michigan. It uses a centralised sign-on mechanism to authenticate users: for Informatics users, this means authenticating to web sites using your Kerberos principal.
Cosign uses login and service cookies to manage the authorization for a cosign-protected website. More detailed information about the design of Cosign can be found on the Cosign website.

The ex-departmental web servers (of DCS, DAI and CogSci) would, in an ideal world, just die off.
The main Informatics web service covers the site accessed via the www.inf.ed.ac.uk URL.
Most recruitment and publicity type content is now hosted on the University's central web service, so many of the old URLs will redirect you to www.ed.ac.uk/informatics/ pages.
Official administrative information is now hosted on the intranet site web.inf.ed.ac.uk. Note that here the term intranet indicates that the content is targeted at existing staff and students, it is still publicly accessible to the world.
About the only content left on www.inf.ed.ac.uk are teaching pages, though they are mostly migrated the University's VLE - Learn.
The groups.inf.ed.ac.uk service is a simple way to serve content that's in Group space (a /group/project/<project-name>/ area) as a web page. Ask for group web space using the support form, giving the location of your group file space and the name for the base of the URL.
For help with scanning read Scan to Email (IS).
There is a Central Wiki Service. For more information, including details on how to request a wiki, see their support documentation.
For external collaborator access use an EASE Friend account (see Your University Login and Friend (formerly EASE Friend) wiki access for details).
Due to legal constraints we do not, and cannot, allow unfettered access to Informatics web server logs.
