Installing a new printer

This DIY guide will give you the simple steps required to install a new printer. If you are using Microsoft Windows Vista the printers for your school/area will be automatically installed when you log on.

*NB. You will need to know the name of the print queue which you wish to use. The easiest way to find this is to ask a colleague.

1. At the end of the printer name will be the server that the printer is located on. It will be on one of the following servers: Print01, Print02, Print03, Print04, Print05, Print06, Subaru, Impreza or Outback.

2. According to where the printer is located, Click the start button, click Start Search and type the name of the server eg  \\print01 or \\Subaru

3. A window will pop up with a list of printers. Find the printer that you need to install and double click on it.

4. After a short while, it will bring up the printer job list. The printer is now installed and ready to be printed to.
