ILPC might be a good suggestion. 11c.png 13) If Windows offers you to share the printer at this point make sure that you select Do not share this printer. 16.png 14) You do not want this to be your default printer (it is slow and the supplies cost an arm and a leg) so please remove the check from the box Set as the default printer. You may wish to print out a test page to see if the printer is working as expected. Click Finish when you are done. 12c.png 15) Open the Devices and printers again. Find the printer you have just added in the list. Right click on the printer and select Printing preferences. 13c.png 16) On the Printing Shortcuts tab please set the Print on both sides combo box to Yes, flip over. The environment will be eternally grateful to you. Don't forget to click Apply when you are done. 14c.png
