  5. Then:
  6. Then choose:

    In the "Name" box, type:  \\shearn-bdc\ at this point, a list will appear--there are over 50 printers,  you must choose (and highlight) the correct network-printer name.
  7. Then
  8. It will ask if you'd like to make it your default printer--this will be your call, say yes or no.

You're done!
