Digital Divide - Printer Connection

Time	Narration
00:01	Hello and welcome to the spoken tutorial on Printer Connection.
00:06	In this tutorial, we will learn to connect a printer to a computer.
00:11	For this tutorial, I'm using
00:13	Ubuntu Linux 12.10 OS
00:17	and Cannon printer.
00:20	Let me quickly introduce you to the various components of a computer.
00:25	This is the CPU,
00:27	Monitor,
00:29	Keyboard,
00:30	Mouse,
00:32	and Printer.
00:34	Let's look at the CPU.
00:41	In most of the CPUs, there are some USB ports in the front
00:46	and some at the back.
00:49	Now, let's have a look at our printer.
00:53	Usually, there is a power switch on the front or top part of the printer.
01:00	And there is a power slot and a USB port at the back of the printer.
01:11	To connect a printer to a computer, we have to use a USB cable.
01:16	Let's connect the USB cable to the printer.
01:22	Now, let's connect the other end of the cable to the CPU's USB port.
01:30	Now, our printer is connected to the computer.
01:33	Switch on the power button on the printer.
01:37	Now, let's configure the printer using our computer.
01:43	Let's go to the Desktop.
01:46	Click on the Dash Home icon, at the top left hand side of the launcher bar.
01:53	In the Search bar, type Printing.
01:58	The printer icon will be displayed.
02:02	Click on it.
02:04	In older versions of Ubuntu, click on
02:07	System ,Administration ,
02:09	and Printing.
02:12	Now, the Printing dialog box appears.
02:16	It says - There are no printers configured yet.
02:21	At the top left corner, there is a button named Add with a green Plus sign on it. Click on it.
02:30	It will open the New Printer dialog box.
02:34	On the left hand side, a list of printer devices connected to the computer, is displayed.
02:42	Here, let's select our printer, i.e., Cannon Printer and click on Forward.
02:51	Then it will automatically begin searching for drivers. I will click on Cancel.
02:59	Now, the dialog box switches to the Choose Driver option.
03:04	The Default option will work in most cases.
03:08	Since, I have a Canon Printer, here in this list, it is selected by default.
03:16	Now click on Forward.
03:19	In the Model page, my printer model is automatically detected.
03:26	It is indicated as Recommended, in brackets.
03:31	Also, in the Drivers section, it shows the driver suitable for my printer.
03:38	Now, click on Forward again.
03:42	Now, we are prompted to describe our printer - printer name and its location.
03:49	I will keep it as Default and click on Apply.
03:53	Our printer is successfully added to our computer.
04:00	A message appears “Would you like to print a test page?”
04:04	Let's click on Print Test Page option.
04:08	A pop-up will appear with a message:
04:12	“Submitted – Test Page submitted as job ...” and its number.
04:18	Click on OK.
04:20	Again click on OK in the Printer Properties dialog box.
04:24	Here is our test print from our printer.
04:29	Our printer is now ready to print our documents.
04:34	Let's close the Printer dialog box.
04:37	Let me quickly demonstrate how to print a document.
04:42	Let's open a document.
04:45	Then, press the keys Ctrl and P together.
04:49	The Print dialog box appears.
04:53	Notice that the connected printer is selected by default.
04:58	In this dialog box, we have several options.
05:03	Range allows us to select the range of pages that we want to print.
05:08	There are some options available under Range:
05:12	* All pages option prints all the pages in the document.
05:16	* Current page option prints only the current selected page.
05:22	* Pages option prints the pages according to our specification, say for example, 3-4.
05:31	Next, let's look at the options available under Copies.
05:36	Copies option is where we choose the no. of copies that we want to print.
05:42	If we change Copies to 2, then 2 copies of the selected pages will be printed.
05:49	And click on the Print button.
05:52	If you have configured your printer correctly, your document will start printing.
05:58	This brings us to the end of this tutorial. In this tutorial, we learnt to
06:05	Connect a printer to a computer
06:07	Configure the printer settings and
06:10	Print a document.
06:12	And we also learnt about the various print options available.
