Upcoming Changes in Athens Academy Printers

In order to speed up and improve the printing services at Athens Academy, all printers are moving from the server MILLEDGE to the server GRADY. Our printers are currently installed on both servers, so we will never lose any printing services during this transition.  Please follow the steps outlined below at your earliest convenience but BEFORE Friday, February 1. At that time, we will uninstall the printers from MILLEDGE and printing will only work through GRADY.

The quickest and easiest way to do this is:

1. Close out all windows and click on Start, then Printers and Faxes. Right-click and choose Delete for any printer that references the server MILLEDGE. Close this window.
   
2. Double-click on My Computer.
3. Type the following into the address bar and press return: \\grady 
   
4. In a moment, a list of all the printers available to you on GRADY will appear. To make this list more easily read, click on View then choose Details. The notes in the Comments field will help you choose the correct printer.
5. Double-click the name of the printer which you would like to add. When a box appears, this printer is installed and ready to use. Please do this for all the printers you will need.
6. To make a printer your default printer, close out all windows and click on Start, then Printers and Faxes. Right-click on the printer you want to choose as your default and select Set as Default Printer.
