Printing: Connecting to a Printer

AIM: This article will show you how to connect to a printer using File Explorer in Window 7 and Windows 8.x

The steps outlined below will help if:

• You have lost connection to a printer
• If you want to connect to a new printer

Step01:

Go to the Taskbar on your Desktop and select File Explorer

Step02:

In the Address bar: type \\ps02 for Printers at Forest Hill and \\ps03 for printers at the SCC.

Step03:

Select the required printer from the list, right click with your mouse, and select Connect

Tip: When using a virtual machine, if you disconnect rather than sign out, the network connection may need to be refreshed by signing out and then logging in again.
