Steps to Add a Network Printer on Microsoft Windows

Before Installation

You will need:

• The name of the networked printer you want to install
• A Windows workstation
• A network connection to Russell Labs - either Ethernet in the building or using the GlobalProtect Departmental VPN (installation instructions) if you're using any other way of attaching to the Russell Labs network
• A Russell Labs network logon

Steps

1. Login to the Russell Labs network.
   
   
2. From the Windows globe (what used to be called the Start Menu) in the "Search"
   
   window that appears, type:
   \\print.russell.wisc.edu
   
   
3. If an "Enter network credentials" window greets you, use credentials:
   
   <NetID>@ad.wisc.edu or AD\<NetID> example bbadger@ad.wisc.edu or AD\bbadger
   <NetID Password>
   
   
4. If not, skip to step 5.
   
   
5. A window appears with a list of all the networked printers.
   
   
6. Search through the list to locate the printer you want to install.
   
   Tip: See the List of Shared Printers - Sharp Color Printer/Copiers KB doc for the current list of printer names and rooms.
   
   
7. Double-click the name of the printer you want to install.
   
   
8. The installation begins.
