Setting up a printer in Vista

1) Click the START button, click navigate to "Control Panel", then navigate to and click on "Printers."

2) Once the printers window is open, click on "Add a printer" in the dark blue menu bar.

3) When the "Add printer" wizard pops up, click on "Add a local printer"

4) At the "Choose a printer port" section click on the "Create a new port" radio button then select "Standard TCP/IP Port" for the "Type of port."

5) At the "Type a printer hostname or IP Address" section select "TCP/IP Device" for "Device type" and input the proper hostname depending on the printer that you are installing, the IPs for all of the different departmental printers can be gotten from the main printer help page on this website.

6) At the "Type a printer name" section type in what you would like to call the printer under the "Printer name" section, this is entirely up to you. Here you also want to make sure that the driver that it says it will install corresponds with the model of printer you are installing.

7) After the installation you should get a section called "You've successfully added [printername]." Here you should click the "Print a test page" button to make sure everything is installed correctly.

Congratulations you are done, happy printing.
