Installing a printer manually (Windows)

Before you can print, you will need the following:
  • Valid student number and network password.
  • Printer queue you would like to print to. Please note: Each printer will have its unique printer name/queue displayed on a sticker located on each printer.
Important notes:
  • If you are printing a PDF document from a browser, it is recommended to download the PDF first. 
  • Turn off any VPN services before submitting a print job.
  • Ensure you are connected to CAMPUS-AIR and have your IP configuration set to automatic. 
  • Printers can be configured to print in colour or black and white. Please check the printer configuration for some applications, such as Office 365, to change the colour mode.
