How Do I… Add a Network Printer

The following instructions detail how to add a network printer to your computer using two different methods, depending on whether you know the desired printer’s name
METHOD 1: IF YOU KNOW THE PRINTER'S NAME YOU WANT TO CONNECT
To add a network printer and you know the name of it, click the Windows Search bar on the bottom left of your screen, next to the Start button, and type “\\” followed by the print server location, then “\” the name of the printer, and then press Enter.
For example, to add the mail room printer at the corporate office, it should look like this \\GCOP057\gcomr68
 

The following are the printer server name locations.
Corporate – GCOP057
• Springdale – GSAP057
• Further processing – GFPP057
• Cassville – GCMP057
• Edinburg – GEVP057
• Harrisonburg –GHVP057
• Rogers – GRAP057
• Batesville, Newport, Magness, Bay – GBAP057
