Printer Setup for Windows 7

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

• 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.

• 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.
