Laptop PrintingIMPORTANT NOTES:
- Windows users: If you are running a “Home” version of Windows XP or Vista (specifically one of the following: XP Home, Media Center, or Tablet PC Edition; Vista Starter, Home Basic, or Home Premium), you will need to login to the print server after each computer restart because these versions of Windows cannot save your print server login credentials. For this reason, the Law School recommends you upgrade your computer to Windows 7 (any version),Windows XP Professional, or Windows Vista Ultimate or Business. The Computer Showcase (in the basement of the Michigan Union) sells professional versions of Windows 7 at discounted prices.
- Mac users: You must have at least Mac OSX 10.5 (Leopard) to install the printers.
- You must be connected and logged into the wireless network or connected to Ethernet in order to print.
Law students who have laptops equipped with wireless or ethernet can download a printer installation program that will install the Law School network printers and configure them to print double-sided. The program will first remove any previously installed Law School printers (it will not remove your personal printers) and then it will install the following printers:
