Printers/Windows

This document applies to Windows XP users on wired, wireless, or ANL VPN connections. Systems does not have any supported Windows Vista or Windows 7 machines, but you should be able to follow these instructions similarly for 32 bit Vista/7 installs. 64 bit Vista/7 will require a manual setup as described below.

64 bit Windows Vista/7

If you are trying to print on a 64 bit Vista/7 machine, you'll need to find and install the drivers manually from Canon. Below you can find the drivers needed for our Public Printers. Once you've identified the printer you wish to use, visit Canon at the below link to search for the correct driver.

[Canon B/W imageRUNNER Advance]

Windows XP or 32 bit Vista/7

Windows print jobs do not pass username information, so separator pages show "nobody" as the user.

Select Start->Run, type

  \\treekiller.mcs.anl.gov

into the dialog box.

This will bring up an explorer window with a list of printers shared by the print server.

Double-click the printers you want and they will be added to your machine. If you get a message about policy settings not allowing you to perform this action, you need to be running as an administrator. If you are on an MCS supported machine and cannot add a print queue, contact systems@mcs.anl.gov
