There are two ways of adding (installing) a network printer to a VU computer:
 

Using the Add Printer Wizard

1. Go to Start > Printers and Faxes.
    

   

   
   
   You will see a list of printers which are installed on your computer.  Click on "Add a Printer."
    

   
   
    

2. This will launch the "Add a Printer Wizard."  Click "Next."
   
   
   
    

3. Choose the second option "a network printer..." and then click "Next."
   
   
   
   
    
4. Choose the first option to "Find a printer in the directory."
   
   
   
    

5. When the "Find Printer" dialog box appears, choose "Find Now."
   
   
   
   
   
    
6. This will bring up a list of available printers.
   
   
   
   
   
    
7. The list can be sorted by Name, Location, Model or Server Name.
   
   The easiest way to find a printer is to search by Location.
   Sort the list and then double click on the printer you want to install.
   
   (DO NOT CHANGE THE NAMES OF PRINTERS.)
   
   
    
8. Upon selection of a printer, you will be asked if it should be the default printer.
   
   
   
   
   
    
9. After the answer to the Default question, printer installation will be complete.  Click "Finish."
   
   

Connecting to the Printer Directly

1.  Go to Start > Run



 

2.  Enter the network path to the printer and click "OK."
