Windows 7 Starter

If you are running the Starter version of Windows 7, which is usually installed on netbooks, you will not be able to print to University printers. Windows 7 Starter does not support the network printing technology used at the University.

To confirm whether you are using Windows 7 Starter take the following steps:

1. Click the Start button
2. Right-click the Computer item and select Properties
3. In the dialogue box locate the Windows edition information as seen below.

If your computer is running Windows 7 Starter you will not be able to print to University printers unless you upgrade to a more feature-rich version of Windows 7. Upgrades are available for below £40 from student software websites.

Printing

If your computer is connected via a plug-in cable or via the eduroam wireless network you can simply select print from any software, choose any of the installed student printers and click the Print button.

If you are using a computer at your home address, off-campus, or if you are connected to the resnet wireless network you will need to connect to VPN each time you intend to print - see the right-hand link. Once you are connected to VPN you can then select print from any software, choose any of the installed student printers and click the Print button.
