+====== Printing in Windows 10 ======
-===== Outline instructions for Vista and Windows 7 =====
+Pleae refer to [[https://sites.google.com/umn.edu/spaintranet/home/computing-area#h.k5suidsm7dod|Updated Printing Insturctions]]
-Use the "Add printer" wizard...
-  - choose "Add a local printer" (not network)
-  - Create a new port, of type "Standard TCP/IP port"
-  - Enter the printer hostname you want, eg "lj216.spa.umn.edu"
-    * You can find a list of available printers in [[https://www.physics.umn.edu/resources/myphys/network/printers.html|MyPhys]]
-  - You may need to download and install a printer driver separately (for example, from the Xerox web site).
-===== Older directions for Windows XP =====
-Use the "Add Printer" wizard.
-Choose "Network printer" as the type of printer to add. Then type in the printer name as ''\\PUBLIC\xxx'', where "xxx" is the name of the print queue - eg, ''\\PUBLIC\431''. Browsing for the printer may not work, as the Windows browsing feature doesn't work reliably on a large network like ours.
-The print queues are all named after the room number of the printer, eg "137". Color printers have a "c" suffix, eg "260c".
-==== Windows XP firewall  ====
-To allow printing:
-    * Right-click on **My Network Places** and select **Properties**
-    * Right-click on **Local network connection** and select **Properties**.
-    * Select the **Advanced** tab and check the **Settings** button under Windows Firewall.
-    * Select the **Exceptions** tab
-    * Check the box next to **File and Printer Sharing** and then click the **Edit...** button.
-    * File and print sharing uses several network port numners. For each port number, click the **Change scope** button.
-    * Select **Custom list** and enter the subnet of our print servers, as follows: ''128.101.220.0/255.255.252.0''.
-==== Other Windows Firewalls ====
-Other firewall packages such as Symantec Client Security can also interfere with Windows printing. We don't really recommend using such programs, as we feel the built-in firewall of Windows XP is adequate, so we won't give any specific directions for configuring them here.
