+ | knowledge, printing via the print servers GWD-Winprint and GWDG-Print3 is | ||

+ | operating system. | ||
+ | Systems not running in Active Directory still have problems printing via the | ||
+ | mentioned print servers. Various workflows published on the Internet for | ||

+ | Now you get a list of printers released by gwdg-print3. If you display the details in the explorer window | ||
+ | Details window, you will see more information (e.g. location, paper size, etc.) about the printer. | ||

+ | When the printer setup is done, it is a good idea to check which printer is the default printer now. Windows very often sets a new printer as the default printer. That's not always what you want. So it is a good idea to uncheck the box labled "Let Windows manage my default printer", | ||

+ | - Download the [[https:// | ||
+ | - Unzip the zip file, search there for the file GWDGPS_2018.inf and install it by right clicking. | ||
+ | - Enter e.g. for the printer color the following share name: http:// | ||
+ | - Select as printer driver the GWDGPS printer driver installed under 1. | ||
+ | - VERY IMPORTANT: when installing the printer via http, no default settings (e.g. A0 for poster printers) will be taken over. Therefore please check the settings before sending a print job! |
