How to add the FollowME printer queue to your PC

Overview  

SMCC offers shared printers throughout our two campuses.  You can add your choice of a printer if you wish. 

 
Solution

To add a printer, simply do the following:

  1. On a search box or Start/Run   type in \\Printer   and hit enter
  2. Search for the printer queue name.  In this case you will want to add "FollowME" .   If you only see printer icons and no details, you will need to change the view.  To change the view, click the VIEW tab at the top of the screen and then click Details.  
  3. Once you have found the printer you want, simply double click it  and a quick installation will occur. A box will appear on your screen.
  4. Click on the Printer tab and Select "Set as default printer"  if you want to make this your default printer.   FollowME will be a selectable printer queue which you can use.  If you simply want to print a non-confidential document, simply select the regular printer queue name associated with that photocopier.
  5. This printer is now available to you. 

You will now be able to open (reopen the application if you had it open during the printer installation) the application and the printer will be available.

 

ATTENTION: FollowME printer is a special type of printer queue.  Much more documentation about it is located in the "What is the FollowME printer queue" article.
