The color printer is a Dell 3000cn laserprinter. It is available for the use of all IBG faculty, students, employees, and guests.

In brief:

• Download the drivers.
• Extract the drivers.
• Point your computer to the printer using either the Windows domain member or the HTTP/CUPS method.

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):

If your computer is not a member of the IBG Windows domain then follow the instructions under HTTP/CUPS.

• 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 3000cn icon and select Connect and then Yes

Drivers for the printer are available from Dell and can be downloaded directly at http://ftp.us.dell.com/printer/R166996.EXE.

Double click on the R166996.EXE file which was downloaded. That will by default extract the drivers to c:\Dell\Printers\R166996\. Once the drivers are extracted, move on to the HTTP/CUPS section.

Printing requires installation of the hpijs. Follow the instructions on that page to install hpijs.
