Paper for the printers is available from Karen in Ozark 12.
Here’s the procedure for installing non-lab printers:
As an administrator, click “Start”, “Printers and Faxes”, “Add a printer”, “Next”. Select “Local printer attached to this computer” and uncheck “Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer”. Select “Create a new port” and “ Standard TCP/IP Port” and click “Next” and “Next” again. Type the IP address for the printer. Common IP addresses are:
130.184.75.187 is the black and white printer in 111.
130.184.75.131 is the color printer in 111.
130.184.75.135 is the color printer in 204.
130.184.75.94 is the black and white printer in 214.
130.184.75.66 is the color printer in 214.
Click “Next” and “Finish”. Select the driver for the printer and click “Next” (Note: If the driver for the printer isn’t on the list, you’ll need to download it from the printer manufacturer’s website, click “Have Disk…”, and browse to the driver). Type in the desired printer name and click “Next”. We commonly use this naming format:
Room number.
B for black and white or C for color.
N for network printer or S for shared printer.
A dash (-).
An abbreviation for the manufacturer.
Model.
For example, in room 111 there is a black and white printer, that is available over the network (not shared through another computer), and is a Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 2100. I’d name it 111BN-HP2100.
Select “Do not share this printer” and click “Next”. Decide if you want to print a test page, click “Next”, and “Finish”.
