INSTALLING AN ADDITIONAL PRINTER on your COMPUTER

Sharing Documents by Sending Them to a Specific Networked Printer:
To quickly share a Word or Excel document, I ask the recipient for the name of the printer they use (the name is taped to the top of the printer) and install that printer on my computer.

To Install an Additional Printer on Your Computer:

1.  Go to Start | Printers and Faxes.
2.  Click Add a printer on the upper left-hand.
3.  Add a Printer wizard window pops up.
4.  Click Next.
5.  On the Local or Network Printer, click Next.
6.  On the Specify a printer, click Next.
7.  On the Find Printers, click Find Now.
8.  This will show up all the available printers on the network on the bottom window.
9.  Click the correct printer and click OK.
10.  On the next screen, click No because you don't want this as
     your default printer.
11.  Click Next.  Then click Finish.
12.  Open your document in Word or Excel.   
13.  Click on File/Print.
14.  In the Print window, click on the down arrow after Name:
15.  Click  the proper printer and click OK to send the
      document.

This process allows you to send a document to another campus, rather that faxing it.  The recipient does not have to be familiar with the software used to generate the document.   When you are finished, go back and select your default printer.  Click on File/Print and select your own printer.  Click Close and save the document. This way future printing will go to your own printer.

To Delete an Additional Printer from Your Computer:

1.  Double-click on MyComputer.  Double-click on Printers.
2.  Click once on the printer to be removed to highlight it, then hit
      the Delete key.
