 +==== Windows 11 Instructions (Papercut Printing)  ====
 +Due to changes in Microsoft server, Windows 11 laptops and desktops will no longer be able to print via our print server. To address this, we have deployed a software solution called "PaperCut" that will allow for printing on Windows 10 & 11, and is also usable on MacOS.
 +
 +**__Windows 11 Instructions:__**

 +  - **Double-click on the downloaded ''%%pc-mobility-print-printer-setup-1.0.317[printserver02.cs.virginia.edu]%%'' file to run it**
 +
 +  - **Follow the set up steps, and then you'll then be prompted to select the printers you want to add**
 +    - Printers in Rice Hall that are available for network printing have a label on them in the form of 'printerXYZ'
 +
 +  - **After selecting your printers, it will prompt you for your CS Username (which is your computingID) and password**
 +    - If you have forgotten your CS password, our CS password reset tool is here (https://www.cs.virginia.edu/PasswordReset)
 +
 +  - **After typing in your CS username and password, it will install the printers for your computer to use as soon as the program finishes**
 +
