Printing on the Gateway Computer When Using the Guest Account

Most unfortunately, I have not been able to permanently install the printer driver into the Guest account. For some inexplicable reason, the driver would just disappear from the list of printers every now and then.

If you would like to print from the Gateway computer while logged on the Guest account, you will have to do the following before you print.

1)      Click on Start, Settings, Printer.

2)      Look for "HP LaserJet 1100 (MS) on cp253a" from among the list of printers available. The end of the name may not be visible until you have clicked once on the icon or name.

a)      If you can't find the above-named printer, jump to step 3.

b)      If the printer is listed, ensure that it is set as the default printer. This is indicated by a white tick in a black dot in the top left-hand corner of the relevant printer icon.

i)        If the printer is already set as the default printer, close the "Printers" windows, and print away.

ii)       If not, right-click on the printer icon, and then click on Set as Default Printer. Close the "Printers" windows, and you're done.

3)      If the printer is not listed, first, double-click on Add Printer, and then click on Next.

4)      Select Network Printer, if it is not already selected, and then click on Next.

5)      If Type the printer name, or click Next to browse for a printer is not selected, select it, then click in the box to the right of the title Name.-, type the following exactly as you see it,
     
\\Cp253A\HPLJ1100@CpA
and then click on Next.

6)      Select Yes in answer to the question "Do you want your Windows-based programs
to use this printer as the default printer?", and then click on Next, and Finished.

7)      The icon listed in step 2 should now be listed and it should be the default printer. Close the Printers windows and you will be able to print for this session.
