New page

Printing from Windows is only supported with IPP. Windows/Samba printer shares are no longer available. Unfortuanatly this is not as smooth as in Linux or MacOS.

This means installing printers is a bit more complicated. Automatic downloading of drivers is not supported. Our preconfigured Windows 10 VMs comes with preinstalled central printers. Personal printers are handled in a different manner.

== Download driver archive ==

Download a zip archive for the central printers hier: [https://itp.uni-frankfurt.de/~thw/printer/winprinter.zip]. Access is restricted to the campus LAN.

== Installing the drivers ==

# Unzip the downloaded file.
# Open the "Printer & Scanner" management page from the system settings.
# Click on Add printer. Due to network design the printers will not be found automatically. Click on "The printer is not listed".
# Choose the "Select shared printer by name". The URL is http://print-itp:631/printers/PRINTERNAME. Where PRINTERNAME is one of our central printer: psBlack1/2, psColor1/2, km1/2.
# Then you have to choose a driver. Click on "Datenträger"
