  1. Your computer has to be connected to the university's network using a network cable, eduroam wireless or a VPN connection.
    NB! Printing will not work when using the ut-public wireless network.
  2. First of all you need to know what's the printers IP address. If you already know the IP, skip to step 4. The IP may be shown by default on the printers screen if it has one. It is also accessible via specific network settings menus of the printer. If there isn't a screen on the printer, it can be printed out with a specific key-cobination which varies with the the printer model. If there is someone you know who is already connected to the printer you can ask them for the IP. To see the IP of already connected printer they must open the list of printers as shown in the steps 8-10. Right click on the printer and choose "Printer Properties"
  3. Select "Ports" from the top and look for a ticked option in the list below where the IP-s are shown and write it down. It consists of 4 numbers which are separated by "." For example: 192.168.0.1
  4. You have to download the printer driver from the manufacturers homepage. (If you already have the driver skip to step 8). Just "Google" the printer model name and write "driver" after that. Make sure to download drivers only from the manufacturers website. There are plenty of "middle-man" sites that may not provide trustworthy results. Note that the drivers come in very different "shapes and sizes". Some come with an .exe, some with .zip, some with the files in multiple folders and so on. For our method we need to aquire the driver in a form of simple folders and files. First of all create a new folder to desktop and move the previously downloaded driver file(s) to there. If it is a self-extracting .exe file. Open it and let it extract its files into the newly made folder. It may open a small unzipping pop-up for a moment such as seen below:
  5. Sometimes the driver comes in launcher .exe format and it asks a location to exctract files when opened. Choose the folder you created previously and click "Next" (the screen varies depending on the driver).
  6. After that the installer may open itself (the screen varies on the driver). Just close it because we are going to use the driver files by different method.
  7. If the drivers come in .zip or .7z or .rar file, just extract them into an empty folder you created before. It is usually done by right clicking on the file and choosing "7-zip" and "Extract Here" when using 7-Zip or just "Extract Here" when using WinRar.
  8. If you have aquired the IP and the driver then you can finally start the connection process. Click on the magnifying glass in the bottom-left corner of your screen.
  9. Type in “Control Panel” and open.
  10. Navigate to “Hardware and Sound.” and click on "View devices and printers".
  11. Click on “Add a printer” from the menu.
  12. Proceed to “The printer that I want isn’t listed.”
  13. Choose "Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or hostname" and press "Next".
  14. Under "Device type" choose "TCP/IP Device".
  15. Next to “Hostname or the IP address,” type in your printers IP address. The "Port name" will fill automatically with the same information as "Hostname or the IP address". Make sure the "Query the printer and automatically select the drivers to use" is NOT ticked. After that press "Next".
  16. Choose "Have disk"
  17. Select "Browse" to search for the previously made folder in which the printer driver is located.
  18. The folder layout can be quite different and often depends on the printer manufacturer (HP, Canon, Sharp etc.) It might also depend on the drivers specific version. All in all you must find a file with ".INF" written in the end of the filename. There might be different folders for 32bit and 64bit versions. Make sure to select the correct one. Most of today's computers are using the 64 bit version.
  19. If you have located the ".INF" file, select it and press "Open".
  20. After that the exact location of the .INF file will be shown on the bottom and you may now click on "OK".
  21. If you chose the right location there should be at least one option available to choose from. Select it and press "Next".
  22. After that you may choose a name for your printer. It is recommended to use the printers model name when naming the printer.
  23. The computer may ask you for a permission to install the driver. Just let it install. After installation you can set the printer as a default option when ticking the option. To see if the printer installed correctly you can print a test page with the "Print a test page" button. Finally press Finish.

Mac OS X

  1. Arvuti peab olema ühendatud kas juhtmega TÜ võrku, olema eduroam wifi-s või kasutama VPN ühendust.
