Private:Poster printing directions

Installing the HP DesignJet T1100 (44 inch) driver

 * 1) You’ll need to download the driver from HP’s website – just download the smaller one if there are two choices.
 * 2) Run the driver extractor program you downloaded and tell it where to save the files to (anywhere, so long as you know where it is).
 * 3) Click Start->Control Panel->Printers->Add a new printer->Local printer, and uncheck "Automatically detect..."->Create new port->Standard TCP/IP Port, and enter the IP address 137.99.19.135 when prompted.
 * 4) When it asks you for the driver, click Have Disk, and point it to the folder where you just saved the driver files. Make sure to not print a test page. Let the printer finish installing.

Now the printer is installed on your system and you can print to it from anywhere on campus.

Printing from Microsoft Publisher 2007
Load Publisher. Click File->Print Setup. Select the DesignJet T1100 as the printer you want to use. To configure printing properly, click "Properties" and then
 * 1) Under "Document Size", click "Custom". Type a name for your custom size, like “Poster”. Enter the size of your poster. Remember that we are printing these landscape mode, so “width” actually means the height of your poster. For a 60x36 poster, set the width to 36 and the length to 60. Click Save, then click OK.
 * 2) Make sure your new custom paper size is now selected, and also make sure the Paper Source is set to "Roll".
 * 3) Change the print quality slider to medium (or whatever setting you want).
 * 4) Select Landscape under Orientation, and then click OK.
 * 5) Ignore the warning about the paper size selected being larger than the loaded paper if you see it. Now you should be back in the Publisher Print Setup window.

Make sure your custom paper size is selected and the source is set to Roll (if you don't see your custom paper size in the list, click OK, and then return to the Print Setup window and look again). Once your paper size is selected, the mini-preview should update and show your whole poster, and the "Printing options" box should say "One page per sheet" rather than "Tiled." Make sure orientation is set to landscape, then click OK.

Now go to File->Print. Click OK, and the poster will be sent for printing.
