Instructions on how to install printers onto your computer device.
|
Most, if not all, research group printers are accessible from anywhere on campus. No VPN or special setup is required other than initial setup. Printing from a non-Cornell network (home, hotel, 3G/4G), requires the use of CUVPN. These instructions presume you are connected either through a wired campus network connection or via RedRover/RedRover-Secure/Eduroam.
Install and configure your print drivers
To install a group printer in Windows 7 (other Windows editions should be similar )
- In Devices & Printers – click on "add a printer"
- Choose add a LOCAL printer
- Create a new port – standard TCP/IP
- Enter the printer name for the address
- See label on the printer for the name (please avoid using the IP address )
- Finish driver & printer installation by providing the driver as necessary and naming the printer something you prefer. In most cases, your computer will detect & install drivers. Some drivers may require manual installation.
To install a group printer in Mac OS X (editions of Mac OS X might have slightly different wording )
- You may want to install the most up-to-date drivers from Apple for your printer before installing ( ex: see http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907 for HP printers )
- Open System Preferences and go to Printers and Scanners
- Click on the + sign to add a printer
- Click on the IP system
- Enter the printer name for the address
- See label on the printer for the name (please avoid using the IP address)
- Change the protocol to HP JetDirect Socket (even if the printer is not an HP printer)
- Leave the Queue empty, name and locate the printer something you prefer and will remember
- Correct the printer driver as necessary
----If you have any questions, problems, or concerns on connecting to your group's servers and/or printers, please first attempt to work with your group's computer person and when necessary, please contact Chemistry IT at ChemIT@cornell.edu or stop by 250 Baker Lab for assistance.
