| There are several steps to setting up a printer, and you may need to follow one or more of them. Use your best judgement -- worst case, you can delete the printer and start again.

| Some printers may not get installed automatically -- e.g. you're logged into a PC in Mow but you want to print to 9/10. If this is the case, you'll need to install the printer yourself. Here's how:
| |
|
| |
| First open the '''Devices and Printers''' window (see [[#Where to Find Your Current Printers]]). At the top of the window, there's a button called called "Add a Printer." Click this button.
| |
| ::[[Image:WINDOWS7 Add a printer.png|thumbnail]] <br clear="all">
| |
|
| |
| This will open the Add Printer Wizard. Click '''Add a Network, wireless or Bluetooth printer'''. Click Next to continue.
| |
| ::[[Image:Windows7 Add a network printer.png|thumbnail]] <br clear="all">
| |
|
| |
| The next window will contain a list of all networked printers on both the Hill and River Campus. You can sort the list by location or printer name. Select the printer you would like to install, and then Click '''Next'''

| |
|
| |
|
| |
| The first time you install a network printer, it will take a minute or two to install the drivers. Be patient as the software installs the drivers and configures the printer.
| |

| |
|
| |
| Should this be your default printer? If it should, then check the box next to '''Set as default printer'''. If this printer SHOULD NOT be your default printer, uncheck the box next to '''Set as default printer'''.

| |
|
| |
| If the new printer was added successfully if it shows up in your '''Devices and Printers''' window. Good job!<br>
| |
|
| |
| === Deleting a Printer ===
| |
|
| |
| If you're getting printing errors, you can sometimes resolve the problem by deleting and reinstalling a printer. To delete a printer, open the '''Devices and Printers''' window (see [[#Where to Find Your Current Printers]]), right click the printer in question, and click Delete.
| |
|
| |
| If the printer was your default printer, Windows will auto-assign a new default printer. When you add the printer back in, you'll need to reset it as the default printer.
