To add a printer on Windows 10 or 11, navigate to 'Printers and Scanners' under Windows settings. Select 'Add a printer or scanner'.
After a few moments of populating printers from network discovery, you will be able to manually add a printer via the 'printer wasn't listed' button.
From here, add a printer using the notation listed below in the 'Select a shard printer by name' field. Substitute 'printer025' with your desired printername.
You should see a confirmation message upon successful install.
Windows uses the “smb” protocol to print. This requires you to authenticate using your Windows credentials. Enter your user name as CSDOM\username
.
If this process fails, you can contact support at cshelpdesk@virginia.edu
Mac users print using the lpd (Line Printer Daemon) protocol through the Windows print server.
To add a network printer, open System Preferences by clicking on the Apple logo in the top left corner. Select Printers and Scanners. At the bottom of the list of printers, click the “+” button to add a printer. Click Advanced (if this icon is not shown, right-click any white space at the top of this window, select “Customize Toolbar”, and drag the “Advanced” gear icon to the toolbar, then click Advanced). Wait until a search for printers completes. Then add the printer by Selecting Type to be “LPD/LPR Host or Printer”, Device to be “Another Device”, and URL to be lpd://printserver.cs.virginia.edu/printer<number>
, for example lpd://printserver.cs.virginia.edu/printer025
. For Name, specify “printer<number”, for example “printer025”. You can enter a location (like “Room 211”), then for Use, choose “Generic Postscript Printer”. Click Add.
The printer has now been added, and you can print to it.
