How to Find a Printer via the Network Printer Directory Note #1: When setting a printer using this method, the printer will only be set for the current username. If another login is used, that user will not see the printer until the same process is applied for that user.

Note #2: The process listed below is for Windows XP computers. The process is slightly different but generally the same for Windows 7 computers.

Start/Settings/Printers and Faxes Click “Add a Printer.” Next. Click the radio button beside “Network printer. . .” Next. Click the radio button beside “Find a printer in the directory.” Type the name of the printer* in the search field. Highlight the name when it appears in the box below the search field. Click OK. Set as the default printer if you wish. Next. Finish.

*For laserwriters attached to the network via a blue cable, the printer name is listed on top of the printer. For printers that access the network via a student computer, refer to the document //How to Connect to a Printer Attached to a Computer// to determine the name of the printer.
