Installing the Gender & Women's Studies Copier in Levy 5171

Use these instructions if you have a personally owned device, or a university-owned device that does not use your NetID username and password to logon.

Before you start, and after you are connected to VPN, go to the Canon web site and download the "Generic_Plus_PCL6_v3.50.zip". Go to your Downloads folder and extract or copy the files from the ZIP file. Be sure to make note of where you placed the files.

1. First, you will need to get into the settings to add the printer:
   

   Windows 11

   1. Go to the Start menu, then click on the icon for Settings.
      
      
      
   2. In the Settings window, click on Bluetooth & devices, then click on Printers & scanners.
      
      
      
   3. Click the button to Add device.
      
      
      
   4. After a few moments, toward the bottom of the printer list you should see a line that says "The printer I want isn't listed". Click the text to Add manually.
      

   Windows 10

   1. Click on the Start menu, click on the gear icon for Settings.

3. On the following screen:
   • Leave Device type as Autodetect.
   • In the Hostname or IP address: box, enter 10.128.91.151.
   • The Port name will likely be the same but it is OK if it has a suffix such as _1 or _2, and so on. It just means that there was a printer on that IP address before installed on your computer.
   • Uncheck the box to Query the printer and automatically select the driver to use to speed things up.
   • Click Next.
     
     
     
4. It will take a few moments to contact the printer. Then, on the Install the printer driver screen:
