How do I add a printer?

  1. On your keyboard, press “win” + “R” keys at the same time to open a “Run Command”
  2. Type “control printers” without quotes into the dialogue box and press the enter key.
  3. Click on “Add printer”. This will begin a search for available printers.
    1. On windows 10, click on the sentence “The printer I am looking for isn’t listed.” This will allow you to enter the printer manually.
    2. On windows 11, after a short while of searching, an “Add manually” button will appear under the “add printer” button. Select it and you will be able to add a printer manually.
  4. Select the “add a shared printer” bubble and enter the following into the form, substituting “PrinterName” for the name of the printer:

    http://printers-240.cels.anl.gov:631/printers/PrinterName

  5. Select the driver for the printer. If it is not available in the dialogue box, you can download the driver from here and install it with the “Have Disk” option.
  6.  Print a test page to ensure the printer installed correctly.
