Adding a Surgery Printer using iPrint
This article describes how to add a printer to a Department of Surgery Windows computer through the iPrint client.
Surgery IT manages a number of printers that are co-located with people working in the office. Printing to these devices is as simple as installing the printer on your DOS computer and it does not require administrator permissions. See the steps below for adding a new printer to your DOS computer.
Note: Printing to these devices is only available while you are in the building (CSC, MSC, WIMR, etc). iPrint does not support printers in remote work locations.
