If you are running Windows Vista or Windows 7 and you wish to print to the Apeos Port 450i printers (ni, san, shi and go), you will need to follow the instructions below:
  1. Firstly, you should authenticate against our samba server to get the permission to print. Click the Start button and choose Run.... Then enter \\samba.cse.unsw.edu.au\username where username is your CSE username. Then at the login window enter your user CSE username and password.

  2. You need the right driver. Visit the Xerox Global Printer Driver page. Click "get driver" under the "Free Download" section near the top of the page. Select your operating system (Windows 7 or Vista or Vista x64 if you're reading this page) and language. Click the "PostScript" driver link.
