How to Set Up Webprint on Windows Vista.
This document will show you how to configure
your Windows Vista computer to use Willamette's
Web-Printing system.
Add A Printer
- Open the start
menu (The Glowing Blue Marble)
- Open the Control
Panel (on the right hand side of
the menu). A new window should pop-up.
- On
the left, click the Control Panel
Home option.
- Under the heading “Hardware
and Sound” select “Printer.” A
new window should pop-up.
- On the task
bar (below
the address bar) click the “Add
a printer” link. A new window
should pop-up. This is the Add
Printer Wizard.
Add Printer Wizard
- Select
the option to “Add
a network, wireless, or Bluetooth printer.”
- The next window should say “searching
for available printers…”
Instead of letting your computer search,
click on the link with the green arrow near
the bottom of the window labeled “The
Printer that I want isn’t listed.”
- The next window should say “Find
a printer by name or TCP/IP address.”
- Select
the option for “Select
a shared printer by name”
- In the box below type \\home\webprint
- Click
Next. The printer should
then install itself.
NOTE: You may see a box
that says "To
use this printer, you need to install
a driver ... ". If so, click the Install
Driver button.
- The next page prompts to have the
printer “set as the default
printer” You may choose
to select this if you plan on using webprint
as the primary printer on your computer
(You can always change this later).
- Click Next.
- You may now print
a test page if you would like. Click
finish.
- Congratulations you have finished
installing webprint!
Note: For best results with webprinting, you
may want to match your Windows Vista 'User Name'
to your Willamette University username. Follow
the Instructions
to Change your Windows Account Name to make
that change on your computer.
