Option 1: The EASIEST way:
Download the Xerox Smart Start Driver and printer installer utility, which can be found here:
https://www.support.xerox.com/en-us/content/143617
Once it is installed, it will take you to a page where it locates all of our printers (assuming you are on campus) and then allows you to install everything you need to use the printer(s) of your choice.
Option 2: The HARDER way:
Add network printer by IP address ‐ Windows 10
...
In the Devices and Printers window click on Add a printer.
As soon as Windows starts searching, look a the BOTTOM of the search window and choose… |
Select "The printer that I want isn't listed"
...
Under Hostname or IP address: Type in the IP address of the printer you intend to connect to.
For GUGHALL (Gug 3rd floor) use: 172.25.33.78 For Gug 211 (A&A Main Office) use 172.25.33.159 For GUG 317 (Academic Advising ONLY) use 172.25.33.147 For AERB 241 (AERB/Space Grant) use 172.25.35.35 |
Note: this will fill in the Port name: at the same time with the same IP address, this is OK. Also, leave the "Query the printer..." box checked.
Windows should find the driver automatically. If not, you may need to download the driver (for that specific model printer) from the manufacturers website.
For our purposes, please choose “Microsoft” from the left hand “Manufacturer” box, and the choose “PCL6…” as the type of printer. There is NO NEED to download the Xerox Driver. |
Once it finds the driver, type in the Printer name: (SEE BELOW), then click Next.
Again, name the printer by its location (either GUGHALL or GUG211) instead of naming it PCL6…! |
In the Printer Sharing window, select Do not share this printer, then click Next.
...
The printer should now show in Devices and Printers, and be selectable when printing from within documents, etc.
