====== Connecting to the color printer ====== The PDF virtual printer creates a PDF file in your home directory (''H:\'' drive) in the ''cups-pdf'' directory. It is available for the use of all IBG faculty, students, employees, and guests. It can create a PDF file without installing Adobe Acrobat, or any additional software (other than the printer) on your computer. Your computer must be a member of the IBG Windows domain to use this printer. There are several free options for creating PDF files under Windows including [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/|PDFCreater]] and [[http://www.cutepdf.com/|CutePDF]]. ===== Printing from a Windows domain member ===== This is the easiest method for attaching to the IBG printers. It is recommended for all desktop Windows computers. However, this only works if the computer being used is a member of the IBG Windows domain. Your computer is a member of the IBG Windows domain if the following are true: * Your computer is on-campus. * You press ''ctrl-alt-delete'' and see a login box similar to (it will look different on Vista): {{xp-login.png?nolink|Windows XP login dialog}} If your computer is not a member of the IBG Windows domain then follow the instructions under [[computing:m5200#Printing using HTTP/CUPS|HTTP/CUPS]]. ==== Connection instructions ==== * Open a Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) window. This can be done by opening ''My Computer''. * Enter [[\\delta\printers and faxes]] into the address bar. * Right click on the ''PDF'' icon and select ''Connect'' and then ''Yes''
