How to Connect a Printer to your Staff Laptop

How to Connect a Printer to your Staff Laptop

 

BE AWARE
District copiers are installed and set as the default printing option automatically. They are listed as "Print to Copiers on SRV-COPRT". Simply choose this option and swipe your badge or manually log into any copier in the district and release the print job by using the "Print Release" function.

BE AWARE
Bypassing the "Print Release" function and printing directly to any copier should not be done as this may (and has) lead to sensitive information/documents being compromised/taken by anyone currently around the copier.

 

Introduction

The following documentation will show you the steps required to locate and install networked printers on your SPS staff laptop.

 

Step #1

Log into your staff laptop and click the Windows 10 start button in the lower left-hand corner of your screen.

Continue by typing Run into the Search Windows field.

Within the search results, click the Run desktop app.

 

Step #2

Within the Run dialog window, type in the command path (listed below) required for your particular school type and click the OK button

Command Path
Elementary Schools (es) \\srv-esprt
Middle Schools (ms) \\srv-msprt
High Schools (hs) \\srv-hsprt
Central Office (co) \\srv-coprt

 

Step #3

A window will appear with a list of available printers.

Use your school’s three letter designation to locate the printer you’re attempting to connect to. 

You might be required to scroll down the list for more printers.

 

BE AWARE
The printer name should be located on a white sticker on the front-side of the device! 
IE: DUG-004

 

Step #4

After you locate the printer you wish to connect to, double-click the device icon to begin downloading and installing the drivers to your staff laptop.

 

Step #5

The printer/copier will finish installing and a device dialog window will appear.

Your device is now installed!

If you need to install more printers, go back through the steps, otherwise you’re all set!
