====== Printer Setup ======

A common question for the IT staff is how to gain access to the NIMBioS printers.  This question is presented to us most often by short-term visitors and workgroup/workshop guests.  Because this is such a frequent question, this page has been dedicated to answering it.

====== Required Information ======

Below is a table with all the important information that you will need to know to install these printers on your personal machine.

^ Printer Location ^ Printer Make/Model ^ IP Address ^

^ Printer Location ^ Printer Make/Model ^ IP Address ^
| C-130 | HP LaserJet P2055dn | 160.36.130.4140 |


**NOTE:** The printer location includes a 3-character building designation as specified by the university.  You can see all the building designations on UT's map page [[http://www.utk.edu/maps/|here]].  This building designation is used by the NIMBioS IT staff when naming printers, so that users can find a printer near them quickly and easily. C stands for Claxton and the number is a close room number.

===== Installation Instructions =====

  * Click: ''Start'' > ''Printers and faxes''
  * Click: ''Add a printer''
  * Click: ''Next''
  * Click: ''Local printer attached to this computer''
  * Click: ''Next''

  * Type of port: ''Standard TCP/IP Port''
  * Click: ''Next''
  * Click: ''Next''
  * Printer Name or IP Address: ''160.36.132.50''
  * Click: ''Next''
  * Click: ''Finish''
  * Manufacturer: ''Generic''
  * Printers: ''MS Publisher Color Printer''\\ (**NOTE**: If your Windows XP operating system does not have this printer, then click on ''Windows Update'' to update your printer drivers.)

  * Printer name: ''C-124 Xerox Phaser 8560DN''
  * Click: ''Next''
  * Do you want to print a test page: Yes
  * Click: ''Next''

By using a generic printer driver, users can begin using the printer in minutes.  However, by not using the official Xerox driver some functionality will be missed when using this printer.  If you would like to use the official Xerox driver, you can find download and installation instructions [[http://www.support.xerox.com/go/results.asp?Xtype=download&prodID=8560&Xlang=en_US&Xcntry=USA|here]].
