Tech Talk

Tech Talk is an ongoing discussion and idea sharing between George Vasquez, Chief Technology Officer, and Jamie Franklin, Chief Project Management Officer. They welcome your questions about any current or future information technology tool or initiative here at Community Medical Centers.

Tech Talk - Printers Have a Web Page?

Jamie:  You know what George?

George:  Yes, I know what, but how can I help you?

Jamie:  The other day I wanted to print a document to a different printer than I normally use and I couldn't figure out how.

George:  Did you go to the Printers Page?

Jamie:  Printers Page?  What on earth is that?

George:  It's the fastest way to add printers in the entire universe!

Jamie:  Faster than Windows' Add a Printer?

George:  A thousand times faster!  Plus the Windows Add a Printer won't work in our environment because we use a print server, but I digress...  To get to the Printers Page, just open Internet Explorer and type "printers" in the address bar.

Jamie:  That's it?

George:  Yes - well, mostly.  Once you get there, you need to find the printer you would like to add.  There are two ways to do that.  First, if the printer is near you, just click the "Find Closest Printers" button and it will return a list of printers in your area (based on the PC that you are using).  Find the printer you want in the list and click on the printer name.  A new window will open and under "Printer Actions" in the left menu, select "Connect w/Permissions".  The printer will then be added to your PC and available for you to use!

Jamie:  I am impressed with your knowledge in this arena George...is there a button I can click for "Find Closest Chief Technology Officer" so you can do this for me?

George:  sigh.
