We are switching to a new and improved printing system called iPrint. Once the client is installed, it will try to update all installed printers automatically. This will work for the majority of printers district-wide, if they have not changed in any way. Many printers have changed over the summer, most notably copiers. At least one copier in each building has been replaced with a newer model, so these will have to be re-installed by whomever prints to them. Also, some printers were renamed to conform with a uniform standard. All printers are now named based on the "building-room-type" model, i.e. HS141_Laser or DO130_Copier. (High School room 141 laser and District Office, room 130, copier).
What it means for you
The simplest thing to do now is delete all the printers currently installed on your computer, then reinstall them with the new names.
Step 1 - Go to START, settings, Printers & Faxes.
Step 2 - Hold down "ctrl" while clicking once on each printer that is either an old P-something, says "DISTRICT" somewhere in the description or is a copier of any kind. Then press the delete key to remove them all at once. (This may take a few moments, depending on how many you select at once.)
Step 3 - when all old printers are gone, close the Printers & Faxes window, then open a Web browser to the Internal Home page.
Step 4 - Find "Install a new printer" under the "Online services" menu, and go to that page.
Step 5 - You'll now be looking at a list of ALL printers in the district. All printers will be grouped together by building alphabetically. Simply click on the printer you wish to install and say "Yes" to the 'Do you want to install this printer' question. There is also a check box to set a printer as default, choose that for the appropriate printer. Repeat for as many printers as you need to setup.
As usual, if you have any questions call us on the helpline (4025)
