Adding a Printer

Adding printers is a simple process that can be done easily by any user.  You will also need to be on the same network/campus as the printer you are trying to add.  Printing to NW printers only works on the campus network, not Mobile or Guest.

If you need to use the finisher for Snoopy or Woodstock, please submit a ticket to IT (link here) so they can install specific drivers for these printer features.

2. Click “Printers & Scanners”

Windows

1. Open Settings => Printers and Scanners
