Mini-Byte: Adding A Network Printer

There are times when the desktop printers you have in your classrooms will “go down”, either because they are out of ink or because they are simply broken. When this happens, be sure to complete a Help Request about the problem and then, so that you can still print, you can add one of our many networked printers to your printer list. That way, you will still be able to print what you need even though your local printer is out of commission.

To add a printer:

Go to Start/Printers and Faxes.
On the left, click Add a printer.
Click Next.
Select A Network printer, or a printer attached to another computer and click Next.
Select Browse for a printer and click Next.
Browse to NDPS Printers/NDPS Controlled Access Printers/HYLTON.HS.PWCS/C100-HPLJ4200-ITLAB and click Next.
Select No for default printer and click Next.
Click Finish.

The next time you print, be sure to select File/Print and then select the C100-HPLJ4200-ITLAB printer. Your print job will print out in the IT Lab where it will be taken out of the printer and set aside until you can come down to pick it up.

To print color, add the printer ITLAB-HPLJC3800.HYLTON.HS.PWCS and be sure to select that printer when you go to print your job. Again, it will be taken out of the printer and set aside until you can come down to pick it up.

If you are printing something sensitive (like a test), call ext 4273 to give us a “heads up” that it is coming so that we can secure it for you.

If you know of another networked printer that is closer to your room, you can add that one instead of the one(s) in the IT Lab. However, please remember that the ink for printers in the main office, 4th street office, and Guidance are not covered by the Instructional Technology budget. For that reason, you should probably NOT add printers that are located in any of those areas.
