Setting up your printer or adding an additional printer over the network is a very easy task. You do not need to go through all of the add printer, select port, load driver steps.
You simply log into Novell, open the F: drive, and find the folder labeled "PrinterInstall". If you are at OH, WC, or WS, you look on your G: drive as well, but you will then select your school from the list.
Within that folder are two others. Those of you with new stations, loaded with the new "Windows 7" operating system, can use the programs in the "Windows 7" folder to install whatever printer is convenient for you. Those with older "Windows XP" stations use the programs in the "Windows XP" folder.
There are two copies of most of the files. If you want the printer you're installing to be your "default" printer, then choose the file that includes the word "DEFAULT". If you prefer a different printer to be your default printer, then choose the "NOT Default" version.
When you double click the little ms-dos icon, you will see the loading takes place. It will automatically load the drivers, setup the port, put the printer in your printer folder and make it the default or not. Very easy!!!!!
It is a good idea to install more than one printer on your station. Then if your default printer is out of service, you can select another printer in your building.
