Hands-On Project 10-1: Research Printer Websites

Your company plans to purchase a new printer, and you want to evaluate the printer manufacturers’ websites to determine which site offers the best support. Research three websites listed in Table 10-1 and answer these questions, supporting your answers with pages that you have saved or printed from the website:

1. Which website made it easiest for you to select a new printer, based on your criteria for its use?
2. Which website made it easiest for you to find help for troubleshooting printer problems?
3. Which website gave you the best information about routine maintenance for its printers?
4. Which website gave you the best information about how to clean its printers?

Hands-On Project 10-2: Print in the Cloud

To practice cloud printing using Google Cloud Print, you’ll need a computer with an installed printer and another computer somewhere on the Internet. For the easiest solution to using Google Cloud Print, both computers need Google Chrome installed. You’ll also need a Google account. On the computer with an installed printer, do the following:

1. If you don’t already have Google Chrome, go to google.com/chrome/browser/desktop, download, and install it.
2. Open Google Chrome and enter chrome://devices in the address box. Click Add printers. Sign in to Google with your Google account. If you don’t already have an account, you can click Create account to create one.
3. The list of installed printers appears. Uncheck all printers except the one you want to use for cloud printing. Click Add Printer(s). On a computer anywhere on the Internet, do the following:
4. If necessary, install Google Chrome.
5. Open Google Chrome and sign in with your Google account. Navigate to a webpage you want to print. Click the menu icon in the upper-right corner of the Chrome window and click Print.
6. On the Print page, click Change and select the printer, which is listed in the Google Cloud Print group. Click Print. The page prints over the web to your printer. You can share your cloud printer with others who have a Google account. To do so, sign in to your Google account and go to google.com/cloudprint. There you’ll see a list of print jobs sent to your printer. Click printers. Select the printer you want to share and click Share. Enter the email address of your friend and click Share. Click Close. When your friend is signed in to Google, he can print to your printer from anywhere on the web.

Hands-On Project 10-3: Share a Local Printer

Practice printer-sharing skills using Windows and a printer:

1. Install and share a local printer with others on the network.
2. Install a shared printer on a remote computer. Verify you can print to the printer from the remote computer.
3. Turn off the shared printer. Print again from the remote computer. On which computer is the print job queued? Cancel this print job.
