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.
