Adding Printers – If a Printer is Missing On Your Computer
Usually, all the printers in 205 will be installed and available when you log in to the machines in the computer labs and in room 204. On occasion, the computer may fail to pick up the printers and you will need to install a printer manually so that you can send print jobs through to the relevant printer in room 205.
