Technology Training For Swansea Teachers

All of the printers in our school are identified by an IP (internet protocol) address. These 10 digit numbers are not easy to remember nor do they help to know where that printer is located. If you would like to name the printers on your computer so that they make sense to you, just follow the steps below.

Click On:

1.The hard drive, where all the applications in your computer are located. You’ll find it on the desktop of the computer usually named “My Computer” or “Macintosh HD”

2. Applications

3. Utilities

4. Printer Set Up Utility

5. click on the printer you want to name

6. Show Info

7. In this box you may change the printer name from the 10 digit number to anything that makes sense to you. This name will only appear on the computer on which you are working.

8. Apply Changes

Most of the time you can change your printer in the print window that comes up when you choose to print a document. Use the pull down menu at the top of the page to see the other printers in your list. Look in “shared printers” too.

If you need to add a printer that is not in your list, double click on the hard drive. (that’s the small, gray picture of a computer in the top right of your desktop) Then, open “applications“. Scroll down to “utilities”. Find “printer set up utility” in the alphabetized list. In this window you may add or delete printers.

To add a printer click on ‘add’. Click on  ‘IP Printing’. Then type the address for the printer in the IP box. If you want to add one of the Canon copier/printers, click on more printers. Then you need to make sure you are using the correct driver for those printers. Choose ‘canon UFR II’. After choosing the driver you will then type the address for the printer in the IP box.
