ADMINISTRATIVE COMPUTING

SET UP PRINTING

We have endeavored to automatically set up your printers so that they are all listed for you when you log into your computer.  Click on Start, then Printers and Faxes, then right-click the duplex printer whose name is the same as your society’s.  Select Set as Default Printer

In the event that this automatic setup is not working, we are including instructions for manual configuration of the printers:

If the automatic printer setup did not run, then we recommend that you go through these steps at least twice to set up at least the two printers in your society room. Adding the printers from the lounges will allow you to print while other classes are testing. Periodically one of the printers may jam or have some other problem. It is good to have at least one or more backup printers. You can print to any of the student printers on the third or fourth floors or the medical student printer in the Health Center Library.

1. From the Start menu, select Printer (lower-right).
2. When the window pops up, click Add a printer (on toolbar near the top).
3. When the next window pops up, click Add a local printer.
4. Click the radio button to the left of Create a new port.
5. Click the drop down menu next to Type of port and, select LPR Port.
6. Click Next.
7. For Name or address of server providing lpd type: cerebellum.case.edu
8. For Name of printer or print queue on that server type:
   XXX-Duplex     ß  where XXX is the society room of the printer you want.  The possible choices are:
1. Wearn-Duplex, Wearn-BKP, Blackwell-Duplex, Blackwell-BKP, Satcher-Duplex, Satcher-BKP, Robbins-Duplex, Robbins-BKP (the “BKP” printers are the older, smaller Dells that you have in your rooms to use as a backup in case your duplex printers fail).
2. Then there are the lounges: Redlounge, Bluelounge, Caugheylounge
3. And the Health Center Library, or “HCL”
4. NOTE:  Each printer on this list may not be ready by the time you have your orientation.  The duplex printers, however, will be ready by 7/7/8
