Directly Printing to a Printer

Some on-campus printers can be set up for direct print. It is strongly recommended that you use SecurePrint to send print jobs to the multi-function printer/scanner/copiers. However, sometimes you need to set up direct print to a device.

In order to set up direct print:

1. Click on the Start button on your Windows computer.
    
2. Type Printers & Scanners. 
   Printers & scanners will pop up.
   
    
3. Click on Printers & scanners to open the printer settings
    
4. Click on Add a printer or scanner
   
    
5. A list of printers will appear. You have two options:
   1. If you see the printer you want to connect to, click on it and click Add Device.
      The printer will install and you can now use it!
       
   2. Otherwise, scroll to the bottom of the list, and click on The printer that I want isn't listed. 
   3. Select Find a printer in the directory, based on location or feature and click Next.
   4. Find the printer you want to use
      1. Enter the Name or Location in the appropritate fields and click Find Now
      2. Alternatively, you can click on the Name header in the search fields to sort by name. All printers begin with their location.
   5. Double click on the printer you want to use to install it.
