Wireless Printing in the Library  

Do you have a laptop that you'd like to set up for printing in the Al Harris Library? Follow the steps in this LibGuide, and you'll be able to use the library's wireless network to print from anywhere in the library.

Scroll down for instructions on setting up a Windows 7or Vista laptop.

Mac, Windows XP, and Ubuntu Linux users: Click the tab at the top of the page for your operating system.

• Your laptop must be connected to the library's swosuair wireless network.
• Be sure your laptop's battery is fully charged or plugged into an outlet. If your battery runs out while you're installing the printer drivers, you may no longer be able to print to any printer.
• Plan on the installation taking 30-60 minutes.
• Read the instructions below carefully before you begin. Installing these drivers is complicated. If you're uncomfortable with complex software installations, we strongly recommend that you use one of the library's PCs or laptops for printing.
• These instructions are current as of August, 2011. However, Kyocera may change their driver installation program at any time. Cancel the installation if you're not sure how to proceed.
• If you're prompted by at any point during the installation to open a firewall port for the printer, click Yes and allow the port to be opened. If you don't, the installation will fail.

1. Download the Kyocera FS-9530DN printer driver for Win XP, Vista, 2003, 2008, Windows 7 (32 and 64 Bit). You want the one named KX Driver. 

(If the direct link to the driver page doesn't work, go to the Kyocera home page and select Downloads.)

2. Click Download Now to download the driver to your laptop. The installer will be saved to your Downloads directory.

3. Double click the installer. Click Run if Windows pops up a security warning. You'll be asked for the name of the directory where you'd like to unzip the files. Unzip the files to c:\kyocera.

5. Inside the folder c:\kyocera, there will be another folder whose name starts with KX_. (Depending on the driver version, the name you see may not exactly match the name that's shown below.) Open the KX_ folder.

6. Inside the KX_ folder, find the program Setup (or Setup.exe if your Windows is set to show file extensions).
