Windows Printing

Our Windows Workstations have icons for most of our printers. For workshop visitors, there are two different way to print a documentation. First one is that user physically connect one of our three public printers ( color, central and north ) thru a parallel printer cable. The other is that each user has to add one of our public printers ( color, central, north, open, 3rd, and 2nd ) to the user's own laptop as local printer. Here are the steps for Windows XP.
