Connection to the printer

It might be the case that printers at the LRC SUB have not established a connection to the student account yet. That is to say, they do not appear in the list of printers available if students want to print a document.

solution

First open the Windows searching function (start → search or click the windows button + F simultaneously) and open the computer search (search for “Nach Drucker, Computer und Personen” (search for printers, computers and persons) –> “Nach einem Computer im Netzwerk” (search for a computer in the network). Below “Computername” please type in the name of student printing server “print-studit.stud.uni-goettingen.de” (alternatively: “gwdu119”), then click on “Suchen” (search). On the right hand side you can see a list of results with the printing servers available. You now can open the printing server with double-clicking on it. You also can select the printer server, right-click on it and then (in the menu) click on “Verbinden” (connect). After that you also can choose this printer as standard for your account (start→ system control → printers and fax devices).

If a user with a GWDG account cannot see all printers, they can be added in the same way. In this case, the name of the printing server is “gwdg-print.gwdg.de” (alternatively: “gwdu111”).
