Printing (SoE Only) - Adding Printer by PrintServer

Below are instructions on how to add School of Education Printers with Print Server. This is the recommend way of adding printers.
  • Windows 10
    • 1. Open up 'Printers & Scanners'. To do this, search on the tool bar for printers and 'Printers & Scanners' will come up. See picture below.

        

      2. Choose 'Add a printer or scanner'

       

      3. Then you should scroll down the list until you find 'The Printer I want isn't listed' and click on it.


        

      4. Choose 'Find a printer in the directory, based on location or feature'


      6A. Find the printer in the list and click on it.  See 'Finding Printer Name' below if you don't already know your printer name. You can sort by name by clicking on 'Name'.

      6B. Then click 'OK' to continue.

        

      7. Click next on the following page and it will bring you to a page that lets you print a test page. We recommend printing a test page here to make sure the printer was added correctly. After that you can click finish and your printer will be successfully added then!

           
  • 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.

If you run into any questions with the above directions please reach out to the MERIT Help Desk at support@education.wisc.edu or (608) 265-4773.
