New Library Printer Names & Print Queues

ICTS is in the process of consolidating all Staff printers onto a new print server. This task was started towards the end of last year. At the moment we have both the new and old print servers running side by side. This means that most staff will not have noticed the new print queues.

Most of the old printer entries now have messages in the comments field of the Printers & Faxes menu suggesting that their users should be migrating themselves to the new print queue.

Below is a list of the library printers I’m aware of that have new print queues, old name first, and then its replacement, plus a description in case you don’t recognize either name.

LibrAdminCopier — LRNR-JamesHight311 — Central Lvl 3 Admin Mopier
LibrC203 — LRNR-JamesHight203 — Central Lending Mopier
LibrC212 — LRNR-JamesHight212 — Central Info Services & Interloans
LibrC501 — LRNR-JamesHight501 — Central Collections Team
LibrEngCopier — LRNR-EPSLibrary130 — EPS Library
LibrEDU — LRNR-HenryField108 — Education Library
LibrLawCopier — LRNR-Law207 — Law Library
LibrMBCopier — LRNR-MacmillanBrown226a — Macmillan Brown Library

If you are a user of one of these 8 printers, and you are still printing to the old Libr print queue, can you please install the new LRNR print queue which corresponds to your printer and make it your new default printing device.
Then delete your old Libr printer entries.
This may save you a bit of pain at some point in the future, when ICTS shuts down the old print server. (Sometimes they forget to tell us when they are going to do this).

You can add one of the new printers by doing the following.

1. Open the printer and faxes menu under your Start Button menu.
2. Click on the Add Printer button.
3. Click Next
4. Select A Network Printer, or printer attached to another computer and Click Next
5. Select Find a printer in the directory and Click Next
6. Type LRNR in the Name field and Click Find Now
7. A list of the Learning Resources printers should appear – Select the printer which matches your Building and the Room number that the printer lives in and Click OK
8. Decide if you want this printer as your Default printer or not, (probably Yes), and Click Next
9. Click Finish

If this doesn’t work, or if your having some other difficulty installing your printer, please contact Lin or myself.
