⤷ Set up a printer (DESY-Hamburg)

To set up a printer on your DESY Windows device, proceed as follows:

  1. Connect the device to the DESY intranet. Either directly via network cable or from outside via VPN.
  2. In the Windows search bar, type: "desy printer".
  3. You should be offered a start menu entry named "DESY Printer":


     
  4. Select it. A list of all available printers opens:


     
  5. Enter the desired printer name in the "Name" field and click "Find now". Alternatively, sort the list alphabetically by printer name by clicking on the column heading "Name".
    Please be sure to read the section "Changed Printer Names / Use of Presets", as some printer names have changed.
  6. Now double-click on the entry to add the printer and wait briefly until the window that opens has closed again. You will not receive a confirmation if the installation was successful. Perform this step with all printers you want to use. Afterwards you can close the printer search window again.

The printers installed in this way are now available in the printer selection of Office and other programs.

If you can not find the desired printer, first check the changed printer names in the following section. Otherwise, please contact the central IT helpdesk (e-mail: uco@desy.de, tel: 5005) for information on the printer name.

⤷Which purpose has the DESY printer server?

In order to be able to process your print requests and also those of other users in an organized manner, there is a central printer server in the internal DESY network. The printer server can communicate with all network printers (printer clients). The printer server receives your print requests and forwards them to the respective network printer (printer client) in an organized manner.
