Connecting to a Printer
 

Before you can print to any printer, you must connect a printer to your computer.

To connect to a printer

  1. Check that you are logged into the SMU network on your computer.
  2. Click on Start > Run. Type in i:\printers and click OK.
  3. Printers are grouped into different folders depending on their physical location. Double-click the folder where the printer you want to connect to is located.

    For example, if you are connecting to a printer from the 5th floor of School of Accountancy, double-click the 'SOA' folder.



    Then double-click on the Level05 folder.

  4. Double-click the respective shortcut to connect to the printer. See here for the list of printers in SMU.


  5. Once done, the selected printer will be available for selection in your computer's applications(e.g. MS WORD, MS EXCELL, Internet Explorer, etc.) when you print.


To set a printer as the default printer:

  • Click Start > Printer and Faxes.
  • Right-click the printer and select Set as Default Printer.
