Wireless Staff Printing Windows Computer

 

These instructions will inform you how to print from your laptop using
Windows 2000/XP from the wireless network at SFU Surrey:


What you need:
a) Download the appropriate printer drivers (Postscript 3, or PS3) from Toshiba's website or from the links below.

b) Your Windows install CD or the LPR install files available here.

Before beginning the install, It is often helpful to download the necesary files to an easy to find place like your Desktop (The driver installs are linked off the Toshiba model numbers below).


LPR Print Service Installation:

1. Go to Start: Settings: Control Panel: Add/Remove Programs.

• If this box is checked, then go to the next step (4).
• If it’s unchecked, check it and click Next. You may need your Windows CD or this file to complete this installation (download and decompress, browse to the folder created). This will install “Print Services for Unix”.

4. Laptop Printing Configuration:

Go to Start:  Control Panel: Printers and Faxes.

7. Download and locate the appropriate printer driver. If you have already installed the driver, skip to the next step, otherwise do it now. Click "Have Disk" and navigate to the location that the unzipped driver files are located (we apologize on Toshiba's behalf for not providing a "proper" program-based driver install).

8. On the next screen, select “Do not share this printer” and click the Next  button. The default name is the printer model, you should rename it to something more meaningful i.e. “SFU Surrey 14-240 Toshiba Colour”

9. If you want to print a test page select Yes; otherwise select No and click the Next button.

11. Click Finish on the next screen. At this point, the printer will demand your department code each time you print. To avoid this, enter your code into the printer beforehand.

12. The printer setup is now complete.
