Step 3 Windows XP

  • Choose Start>Control Panel>Printers and Other Hardware>Printers and Faxes>Add a Printer.

The Printers and Other Hardware step may be unnecessary on some PCs

  • Click Next in the dialog box.
  • Choose A network printer, or a printer attached to another computer and then click Next.
  • In the following dialog box choose Connect to a printer on the Internet or on a home or office network and enter the print queue name for one of the printers you want to use into the URL box.
    add printer url

There are six queues and you can pick the ones you want to use or install them all. Most people will only need the A4 single-sided, A4 double-sided (duplex) queue and the A4 colour single-sided queue.

Add each queue in the same way; the print queue name is the only thing that changes.

 Queue description  Print queue name
 A4 single-sided https://warp.le.ac.uk/printers/a4/.printer
A4 double-sided (duplex) https://warp.le.ac.uk/printers/a4duplex/.printer
A4 colour single-sided https://warp.le.ac.uk/printers/coloura4/.printer
A4 colour double-sided (duplex) https://warp.le.ac.uk/printers/coloura4duplex/.printer
A4 colour single-sided https://warp.le.ac.uk/printers/coloura3/.printer
A4 colour double-sided(duplex) https://warp.le.ac.uk/printers/coloura3duplex/.printer

Enter your username and password in the following dialog box and click OK.

configureport

  • Click Next when the printer has been added and click Finish to complete the installation.
  • From the Default Printer dialog you have the option to choose this print queue as your default. Click OK and when the installation is completed click Finish.

Repeat the above for all the print queues you want to install.

Double-sided (duplex) print queues

If you have added any double-sided (duplex) print queues you must:

  • Choose Start>Control Panel>Printers and Other Hardware>Printers and Faxes
  • Right-click on the double-sided (duplex) print queue you have added and choose Properties.
  • From the dialog box click Printing Preferences and from the Finishing tab. Ensure you tick the Print on Both Sides box.
  • Click on Save and then click OK in each of the dialog boxes displayed.

Important: You must follow the double sided (duplex) print queue instructions for all the double-sided queues you add. Otherwise, you’ll pay for a double-sided page even if you print single sided.

Step 4 (1 minute)
Printing

Print as usual. Choose the printer and the appropriate print queue and change settings as required.

Some programs require you to choose the printer you wish to use before you print.
