If you have used an ISG.EE-managed Windows XP workstation before, you might remember \\ipp2vpp. This command does not work anymore.

Printers can still be installed and deinstalled as desired but they are provided by the good people at VPP this time. The printing environment under Windows 7 and on Terminal Servers based on Windows Server 2008 R2 is based on VPP Version 2.

How To Install A VPP Printer

Click on the Windows icon in the lower left corner of your desktop.

In the field with the text "Search programs and files", type \\vpp-DESTINATION e.g.  \\vpp-ETLF11 . See the list below for destinations and strings.

This should open a new window with at least one printer if the command has been entered correctly.

Double-click the printer you would like to add. The drivers should be installed automatically.

Now you should be able to print. This also works via the menu "File" -> "Print" in most appliations.

Note: Adding a local printer resp. a printer that is not listed below (e.g. a Lanier printer) will not work this way. Please contact ISG.EE for this

How To Delete A VPP Printer

Click on the Windows icon in the lower left corner -> Devices and Printers.

Select the printer you want to delete and press "Del" on the keyboard or "Remove" from the context dialog when you right-click the printer.

Note: Deleting a local printer (e.g. a Lanier printer) will not work this way. Please contact ISG.EE for this.
