Adding a Staff Department Printer
Revision as of 17:09, 16 December 2015 by Jtwaddle(talk | contribs)(Problem: The following login prompt is displayed when printing)

This page explains how to properly add a printer on staff machines using either Macintosh or Windows.

Checking Installed Printers

Before you install printers, check to make sure the desired printer isn't already installed. It's possible that the printer is installed, just not named logically or set as the default.

Checking Installed Printers on Windows

From the Start Menu click Devices and Printers. This will open a new window displaying all the installed devices and printers. If their desired printer is installed and is not the default, right click the printer icon and select the Set as Default Printer. If the printer is not installed, refer to Installing a Printer (Windows.

Checking Installed Printers on Macintosh

Click the Apple Menu located in the upper left hand corner of the screen. Select System Preferences. Under the Hardware area, select Print and Fax. If the desired printer is installed but not set as default, right click it, and select "Set Default Printer." If the printer is not installed, refer to Installing a Printer (Macintosh).

Collecting the Hostname/IP address

Managed Printers

Managed Fleet List

Hostname

  1. Log into
  2. Find the printer name by searching:
    1. for its IP address
    2. by searching for the DNS Name (example NH1%p% will find all the printers in Nobel Hall on the 1st floor) in the username
    3. by typing "printer" in the comments field, and selecting the departmental vlan.
  3. Remember, hostnames are entered in the format of: Printer'sName.subdomain.gac.edu.

IP Address

  1. If for some reason you are not able to locate the hostname, or are unable to add the printer via hostname, gather its IP address either by searching on greg, or collecting it from the printers configuration page.
  2. To print a configuration page, go to the physical printer, hit the menu selection buttons until Print Config Page displays on the small LCD screen.
  3. Hit the "OK" button, and the page will print.

Installing a Printer (Windows-Unmanaged or Mananged HP Printers)

  1. From the Start Menu select Devices and Printers.
  2. Select Add a Printer (located on the upper menu bar of the window).
  3. Select Add a Local Printer. For Windows 8, select Add a printer using TCP/IP address or hostname and move on to #5.
  4. In the Choose a printer port window, select Create a new port, and select Standard TCP/IP Port from the pop-down options. Click Next.
  5. You are then asked to input the Hostname or IP address (See Collecting the Hostname/IP address). Un-check Query the printer and automatically select the driver to use.
    1. Remember, hostnames are entered in the format: Printer'sDNSName.subdomain.gac.edu.
    2. It is suggested that you use the hostname, as the IP address may change over time. However, if the hostname does not work, the IP address will also work.
  6. Driver Installation:
    1. For Windows 8, any PCS6 driver will work with any PCS driver.
    2. For Windows 7, select HP under the "Manufacturer" menu, and select HP Universal Printer PS under the "Printers" menu.
    3. For Windows XP, you will have to locate the exact driver for the printer from the "Printers" menu. If the printer is an HP Laser Jet 4200, locate the "HP LJ 4200" driver.
  7. If given the option to Use the driver that is currently installed (recommended), do that.
  8. Printer Name. Give the printer a name that the faculty/staff member will be able to identify. (Ex: Department Printer, Color Printer by Huff's Office, Printer outside the door, etc).
  9. Select Do not share this printer when prompted for sharing settings.
  10. The printer will then install, and you are given the option to print a test page or set the printer as the system default.
  11. Click Finish.
  12. Test the printer, if you did not do it during the installation process.
