| ====== Connecting to the black and white printer ====== | |
| The black and white printer is a Dell 5330dn laserprinter. It is available for the use of all IBG faculty, students, employees, and guests. | |
| |
| In brief: | |
| * Download the [[computing:5330dn#Drivers|drivers]]. | |
| * Extract the drivers. | |
| * Point your computer to the printer using either the [[computing:5330dn#Printing from a Windows domain member|Windows domain member]] or the [[computing:5330dn#Printing using HTTP/CUPS|HTTP/CUPS]] method. | |
| ===== 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:5330dn#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]] on Windows XP or [[\\delta\]] on Windows Vista or 7 into the address bar. | |
| * Right click on the ''M5330dn-PS3'' icon and select ''Connect'' and then ''Yes''. Windows Vista and 7 may ask you about accepting the drivers provided by the server, and for privilege elevation to allow installation of the drivers. It is safe to download and install the drivers from the IBG server. | |
| |
| ===== Drivers ===== | |
| Drivers for the printer are [[http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&ServiceTag=&SystemID=PRN_LSR_5330DN&os=WLH&osl=en&catid=&impid=|available from Dell]]. | |
| - [[http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&ServiceTag=&SystemID=PRN_LSR_5330DN&os=WLH&osl=en&catid=&impid=|Go to the Dell driver web page for the 5330dn]]. | |
| - Select your operating system from the ''Operating System'' drop down. | |
| - Download the ''Dell - Driver'' entry. | |
| |
| Alternatively, the driver can be directly downloaded from the following links: | |
| - [[http://ftp.us.dell.com/printer/DELL_5330DN-MONO-LASER-PRINT_A02_R241922.exe|Windows XP, Vista, and 7 32-bit]] | |
| - [[http://ftp.us.dell.com/printer/DELL_5330DN-MONO-LASER-PRINT_A02_R241915.exe|Windows XP, Vista, and 7 64-bit]] | |
| - [[http://ftp.us.dell.com/printer/Dell5330dn_Mac.zip|Mac OS X]] | |
| |
| It is possible that Dell has released newer drivers than the ones directly linked here, so if you experience problems with the direct linked drivers, be sure to [[http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&ServiceTag=&SystemID=PRN_LSR_5330DN&os=WLH&osl=en&catid=&impid=|available from Dell]]. | |
| - [[http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&ServiceTag=&SystemID=PRN_LSR_5330DN&os=WLH&osl=en&catid=&impid=|Go to the Dell driver web page for the 5330dn]]. | |
| |
| Double click on the file which was downloaded. That will by default extract the drivers to ''c:\Dell\Drivers''. This will then start the ''Dell 5330dn Mono Laser Printer'' installation application. Click ''Cancel'' and confirm to exit the installation application. Once the drivers are extracted, move on to the [[computing:m5330dn#Printing using HTTP/CUPS|HTTP/CUPS]] section. | |
| |
