This is a quick guide to adding UWB network printers in Windows 7. You will need to be logged into the computer using your UWB domain account, or have otherwise authenticated on the UWB print server using your UWB domain account credentials.
This guide is segmented into three parts:
Part 1 – Adding Network Printers
Part 2 – Setting a Default Printer
Part 3 – Printing to the Ricoh Printers
Adding Network Printers
Click on the Windows start orb and click on the search bar ‘Search programs and files’
Enter the path to the print server: \\uwbprinters
Make sure \\uwbprinters is listed and press ‘Enter’. You should see a list of all the available print queues.
Printers are named according to their physical location. Double-click on each of the printers that you want to add.
Once you add a printer, the printer's print queue window should appear. This will probably happen for each printer that you add. If any print jobs are pending, you will see them here. Go ahead and close these windows.
Setting a Default Printer
Click the Windows start orb, then click on ‘Devices and Printers’ located on the right side of the Start Menu.
You should now see a list of devices and printers that have been added. Under the ‘Printers and Faxes’ section Right-click on the printer that you want to set as the default printer, and select ‘Set as Default Printer’.
Printing to the Ricoh Printers
Each time you submit a print job to a Ricoh printer, you will be prompted to enter a User Code.
To set a default User Code: right-click on the printer and select ‘Printer Properties’.
On the ‘Printer Properties’ window, select the ‘Advanced’ tab and click the ‘Printing Defaults’ button.
On the ‘Printing Defaults’ window, select the ‘Valid Access’ tab.
Enter your print code, click ‘Apply’ and then ‘OK’.
On the ‘Properties’ dialogue, click ‘OK’.
The next time you print to this Ricoh, the User Code window should already have your default code set.
To set a default User Code: right-click on the printer and select ‘Printer Properties’.
