How do I add a printer to my UAS computer?
Printers at the UAS Juneau campus are hosted on a print server named Printers.
To add a printer, go to the Start menu, and at the Run field, type: \\printers then click OK.
A list of all campus printers will appear; double-click the printer you wish to use. The printer will then be installed on your computer.
How do I set my default printer?
The default printer is the printer of first resort when printing something; it is set per user on each computer.
To set the default, go to the Start menu, choose Printers and Faxes, then right-click on the printer you wish to choose. In the menu that appears, choose Set as Default Printer. A little check mark will appear next to the printer set as default.
How is the time we see on our computers generated? Where does it come from?
Our computers us Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This is similar, but not exactly the same as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) however the variation is no more than .9 seconds. (Apparently leap seconds are used frequently to adjust the time)
The calculation used in our computers is:
UTC + TIME ZONE + DST
An example:
16:49:32 + (-09:00) + 1 = 08:49:32 (Local Time)
