Setting up a new printer on the network
A printer that was purchased through an external supplier needs to be registered on the network first before any computer can print to it. Please follow the steps below to set it up on the network:
- Connect the computer to an active network outlet.
- Print a configuration page for the printer
(Instructions for printing a configuration page vary from printer to printer - often it is a menu item in the Configuration Menu of the display. The user manual of your printer should have instructions as well)
- Forward the configuration page together with information on where the printer is located to the Service Desk (in person, by fax to 3100 or by internal mail). We will organise the registration of the printer for you.
- Once the printer is registered on the network, it is ready to be set up on your computer (see below).
Setting up a printer on your computer
Windows
Go to START - RUN and type "une-print" and hit Enter
(If you are asked for your username and password, enter "uneyourusername" as the username and your domain / barney password as the password)
A list of printers will appear. Scroll to the printer you would like to install and double-click on it to start the installation. Once you see the printer window (which may take a few seconds), the printer has been added to your computer and is ready for use.
Note: If your printer does not appear on the list, please contact the IT Service Desk to have it set up (see instructions above for setting it up on the network).
