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.
