Digital Divide - Printer Connection
| Time | |
| 00:00:01 | Hello and welcome to the spoken tutorial on Printer Connection. |
| 00:00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn to connect a printer to a computer. |
| 00:00:11 | For this tutorial, I'm using |
| 00:00:13 | Ubuntu Linux 12.10 OS |
| 00:00:17 | and Cannon printer |
| 00:00:20 | Let me quickly introduce you to the various components of a computer. |
| 00:00:25 | This is the CPU |
| 00:00:27 | Monitor |
| 00:00:29 | Keyboard |
| 00:00:30 | Mouse |
| 00:00:32 | and Printer |
| 00:00:34 | Let's look at the CPU. |
| 00:00:41 | In most of the CPUs, there are some USB ports in the front |
| 00:00:46 | and some at the back. |
| 00:00:49 | Now, let's have a look at our printer. |
| 00:00:53 | Usually there is a power switch on the front or top part of the printer. |
| 00:01:00 | And there is a power slot and a USB port at the back of the printer. |
| 00:01:11 | To connect a printer to a computer, we have to use a USB cable. |
| 00:01:16 | Let's connect the USB cable to the printer. |
| 00:01:22 | Now let's connect the other end of the cable, to the CPU's USB port. |
| 00:01:30 | Now, our printer is connected to the computer. |
| 00:01:33 | Switch on the power button on the printer. |
| 00:01:37 | Now, let's configure the printer using our computer. |
| 00:01:43 | Let's go to the Desktop. |
| 00:01:46 | Click on the Dash Home icon, at the top left hand side of the launcher bar. |
| 00:01:53 | In the Search bar, type Printing |
| 00:01:58 | The printer icon will be displayed. |
| 00:02:02 | Click on it. |
| 00:02:04 | In older versions of Ubuntu, click on |
| 00:02:07 | System |
| 00:02:08 | Administration |
| 00:02:09 | and Printing. |
| 00:02:12 | Now, the Printing dialog box appears. |
| 00:02:16 | It says - There are no printers configured yet. |
| 00:02:21 | At the top left corner, there is a button named Add, with a green Plus sign on it. Click on it. |
| 00:02:30 | It will open the New Printer dialog box. |
| 00:02:34 | On the left hand side, a list of printer devices connected to the computer, is displayed. |
| 00:02:42 | Here, let's select our printer, i.e., Cannon Printer and click on Forward. |
| 00:02:51 | Then it will automatically begin searching for drivers. I will click on Cancel. |
| 00:02:59 | Now, the dialog box switches to the Choose Driver option. |
| 00:03:04 | The Default option will work in most cases. |
| 00:03:08 | Since, I have a Canon Printer, hence in this list, it is selected by default. |
| 00:03:16 | Now click on Forward. |
| 00:03:19 | In the Model page, my printer model is automatically detected. |
| 00:03:26 | It is indicated as Recommended, in brackets. |
| 00:03:31 | Also in the Drivers section, it shows the driver suitable for my printer. |
| 00:03:38 | Now, click on Forward again. |
| 00:03:42 | Now, we are prompted to describe our printer - printer name and its location. |
| 00:03:49 | I will keep it as Default and click on Apply. |
| 00:03:53 | Our printer is successfully added to our computer. |
| 00:04:00 | A message appears “Would you like to print a test page?” |
| 00:04:04 | Let's click on Print Test Page option. |
| 00:04:08 | A pop up will appear with a a message |
| 00:04:12 | “Submitted – Test Page submitted as...” job and its number. |
| 00:04:18 | Click on OK. |
| 00:04:20 | Again click OK in the Printer Properties dialog box. |
| 00:04:24 | Here is our test print from our printer. |
| 00:04:29 | Our printer is now ready to print our documents. |
| 00:04:34 | Let's close the Printer dialog box. |
| 00:04:37 | Let me quickly demonstrate how to print a document. |
| 00:04:42 | Let's open a document. |
| 00:04:45 | Then, press the keys Ctrl and P together. |
| 00:04:49 | The Print dialog box appears. |
| 00:04:53 | Notice that the connected printer is selected by default. |
| 00:04:58 | In this dialog box, we have several options. |
| 00:05:03 | Range allows us to select the range of pages that we want to print. |
| 00:05:08 | There are some options available under Range. |
| 00:05:12 | All pages option prints all the pages in the document. |
| 00:05:16 | Current page option prints only the current selected page. |
| 00:05:22 | Pages option prints the pages according to our specification, say for example, 3-4. |
| 00:05:31 | Next, let's look at the options available under Copies. |
| 00:05:36 | Copies option is where we choose the no. of copies that we want to print. |
| 00:05:42 | If we change Copies to 2, then 2 copies of the selected pages will be printed. |
| 00:05:49 | And click on the Print button. |
| 00:05:52 | If you have configured your printer correctly, your document will started printing. |
| 00:05:58 | This brings us to the end of the tutorial. In this tutorial, we learnt to |
| 00:06:05 | Connect a printer to a computer |
| 00:06:07 | Configure the printer settings |
