Installing and Using Library Printers from Your Laptop with XP or Vista
Printers are located on all three floors of the library. The printers in Lab 1 and Lab 2 are both HP 9000s with duplexing (printing on both sides of the page) capability. The third floor printer is located in the copy room and will also duplex. The copy room is to the left as you step out the elevator on the third floor.
To connect to and use these printers please follow the instructions below:
XP users--

- Click the Orb in the lower-left and type \\lawdog in the Search box and press Enter.
The Connect to dialog box appears, as shown below.

A Lawdog window appears displaying all available printers.
3. Locate a printer you want to install, and then right click it to display its shortcut menu, and then click Connect.

The drivers will install--it just takes a few minutes.
