Printer Configuration Instructions

Pastor Malone,

We made it home safe and sound and we would just like to reiterate what a pleasure it has been to work with you on this project. The following is the information you requested be sent via email regarding completing the network configuration:

Setting Up Print Sharing From Another Computer through Snuffy:
Click on the Start Menu
Open up the Control Panel
Double Click on Printers
(If the computer tries to look for a driver, insert the CD. This should not occur as the software has already been installed, but in the event that it does, you will need the CD to reinstall the driver)
Double Click Add Printer (click Next)
Select Network Printer (click Next)
Browse?double click on Snuffy to get to HP Printer and select HP Printer
(leave the default “no” answer for the MS-DOS option)
Select OK
Click through the remainder of the Setup Process and the computer will be all set up to print through Snuffy
You will probably be asked if you would like to print a test page and this is usually a good idea just to make sure everything is working properly

Obtaining the Necessary Equipment for Internet Connection:
As Martine explained, there is no need to buy wireless cards. What you will need is either a dial up router that has a modem built into it or a router with a modem that has a driver installed. The router with the modem built in is not common anymore and will likely be difficult to find.

Setting the Screensaver to read “Greater Glory”:
We were also only able to get the screensavers placed onto Bert and Snuffy when we had them at the hotel. If you would like to do this on the rest of the computers it’s a simple process as follows:
Right click on the Desktop’s background
Select Properties
Go to Screensaver Tab
Select 3D text from the drop down box and select settings
Bert and Snuffy are set all the way to the slowest speed with “none” for how it moves around the screen. For the text, they are set to scroll “Greater Glory”
Click Apply and your Screensaver is set

Those directions should enable you to complete the network configuration and get your lab really rolling. If you have any questions about those directions, please let us know. If we think of anything else that is important for you to be aware of, we will be certain to contact you. Otherwise, that’s all for now and we sincerely hope your power comes back up soon!
