Outline instructions for XP, Vista and Windows 7
Use the “Add printer” wizard…
choose “Add a local printer” (not network)
Choose “Create a new port”, using 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
MyPhys
You may need to download and install a printer driver separately (for example, from the Xerox web site).
Additional directions for Windows XP and Toshiba copiers
Follow the above directions for the Add Printer Wizard, and create a new “Standard TCP/IP Port” named “toshibaXXX.spa.umn.edu” as the printer name where XXX is the room number
But, once the port is created, “cancel” out of the Add Printer Wizard
-
Open the zip file by double-clicking (as if it was a folder)
Navigate into “driver-files” and run “Setup.exe”
Setup.exe will scan for printers. Choose to add the “Standard TCP/IP Port” that you created earlier instead.
Setup will then finish and install the printer.
