Printer Setup for Windows 7

Printer Setup for Windows 7

In order to install departmental printers, first you need to connect to GUTENBERG using the following procedure:

Primary Method

On your physical keyboard, press Windows key and letter R in tandem - a RUN window will come up.
In the space provided, type the following:
```
\\gutenberg.physics.purdue.edu
```

If your computer is unsupported, a window may come up asking for your username and password. For username, make sure to specify the domain using the following format:
```
ONEPURDUE\username
```

You should now get a window with several folders and printers listed.

Find the printer you want, and double-click it.

A message may come up asking if you would like to install the print drivers for this printer. Select Ok.

Alternative Method

If installing the desired printer via Gutenberg does not work, try the following method:

Add a local printer (not a network one!)

Select create a new port

Select Local port as type of port

In the port name enter the printer’s SMB path, i.e.
```
\\gutenberg.physics.purdue.edu\PRINTERNAME
```

Select the right driver (Usually located in C:\Printers or can be download directly from HP.)

Do not attempt to install departmental printers via IP port - this method will cause a multitude of issues on your, and our end.
