Peter Brownell's Unoffical How to for connecting to the Demog network
to print under windows 2000 (and use other useful utilities).

Written 5/5/06

The Owners Manual says to "Browse to Population."

I found some more detailed advice (for a different network) at:

http://www.its.caltech.edu/win/cwin2k.html

Here's what I did:

Before beginning, I had registered my MAC address with Carl (required)
and also installed Netswitcher from software.berkeley.edu
(recommended).

I also turned off my firewall software, since it kept asking me if
various things could connect and I sometimes got "not found" errors if
I didn't click OK fast enough. Plus, the network is already behind a
hardware firewall.

1) Change your "Workgroup" to "Demography." You can do this in
   Netswitcher, under the "General" tab OR right-click on "My
   Computer," click the "Network ID" tab, click "Properties," and edit
   the Workgroup setting.

2) Physically connect to the network and confirm that you can (for
  example) browse the internet.

3) Click on "My Network Places," then "Computers Near Me." If all is
   well with your "Workgroup" setting, you should see Boserup, Brass,
   Demog, Demography, Population, and your computer. You should be
   able to browse into any of the shared directories (you might have to
   enter your Userid and Password).

4) Go to Start -> Settings -> Printers and click "Add Printer." Choose
   "Network Printer," hit Next, leave printer Name/URL blank and click
   Next, I found the printers showed up under Brass (although the
   Manual seems to imply you would find them on Population). Choose
   the printer you want to install and click Next.

5) Windows should tell you that you have to install printer drivers on
   your local machine, click OK. then Choose "Have Disk," then
   "Browse" then browse My Network -> ...-> Demography -> Population
   ->printdrivers  and look for the the folder for the printer you
   picked. Pick the driver - I'd suggest the postscript (PS) rather
   than PCL. You probably don't want to make this your default printer
   when Windows asks, unless you mostly print here. Finish the installation.

6) Test by printing a page.

Yea!
