Printing to a Networked Printer

When you first get your office computer, it should have been set up to print to the networked printer that is closest to your office.  If you need to print to another printer in your office area, follow these steps:

Windows:

• From the Start menu, choose Run...
• Next to Open:, type:  \\bradbury\name-of-printer-you-want-to-print-to, e.g., \\bradbury\snert
• After a short wait, a window will appear with the name of the printer at the top.  When you print from an application, (e.g., Word), that printer can now be selected from the list of your printers.Macintosh (Leopard - OS 10.5):Macintosh (Leopard - OS 10.5):
