Windows 7

Welcome to the world of Windows 7. Here is one important tip about W7 in the Library.

If a public computer seems to have disconnected from the public printers, reboot and then wait at least two minutes before selecting a printer. The script that connects the computer to the print server takes a few minutes to execute, so all the printers may not show as soon as someone logs in.

Do you know of anything else you can add to the collective wisdom?

  1. Another printing irregularity... if a student says a computer's print job isn't showing up at the Go Print stations, look for a generic printer labeled "Library."

    This has occurred on several different machines this summer. Mike said it self-corrects when the machine is logged on again.
