We did some major upgrades to our server structure this weekend that included address changes to all of the network printers. If you now find yourself unable to print to a network printer, you will need to reconnect to it. Here's what you need to do:
- Go to Start / Printers and Faxes
- Select Add a printer in the left column
- The "Add Printer Wizard" will start. Click Next.
- Ensure "A network printer..." is selected and click Next.
- Ensure "Find a printer..." is selected and click Next.
- Now we’re going to search for a printer, but we’re not going to enter in any search criteria, so click Find Now.
- A list will appear that contains most of our network printers. Double-click on the network printer you want to connect to.
- It will now ask you if you want this to be your “default printer”. Select Yes or No as appropriate. (In most cases, this will be your default printer.)
- Click Next, click Finish, and you’re done!
If you are still unable to print after doing the above 9 steps, please let me or one of my identically-named cohorts know about it.
