Union - Add Network Printer

Instructions for adding network printers for Union customers

    To access the Union print server and queues, the computer must be on the wired LAN at the Unions, or on Eduroam and connected to VPN. Union/AD users on the wired LAN at Pyle Ctr. can access the AIMS print server and queues. For them, same as below, except the server is "\\aims-prt-01.aims.wisc.edu".

    To add a printer for a Union customer's PC, launch the "Run" dialog either by pressing "Windows Key + R", or by right clicking on the "Start" button, then clicking "Run". In the "Run" dialog box, type in the Union print server name - "\\aims-ps-01\" or, if needed, "\\aims-ps-01.ad.wisc.edu\" - then click "OK". You can also reach the list by opening File Explorer and putting the server path in the title bar.

    1. This will open a folder with all the Union printers. Right click on the one you want to add and select “Open”

     

    1. It will take a minute or so, then show as “Connecting”. You may be prompted to trust the printer; Click “Install driver”

    1. Once the driver and the printer are installed, it will open the queue.

     

    1. You can close that window. The printer should be ready for use.

    Macs will have a list of WIUN computers in the "Add Printer" dialog if they're on the wired LAN. You will need to download and install a Mac driver for the specific printer in order to use all of its functions. Generic Mac drivers may work for simple printing.
