- Finding Printer Name
-
On your printer there should be a label with the printer name on. It is usually on a yellow label and the name is in the form of 'department-model'. If there is no label on your printer you should look through the settings for an option that says print configuration page or print network configuration. On the printed page(s) please then look for the 'Host Name' and that will be the printer name. As there are many different models of printers in the School of Education, we can not have directions on how to get the configuration page for every printer on here. For assistance finding the printer name, please contact our help desk at support@education.wisc.edu or (608)265-4773.
