Steps to Add a Network Printer on Windows

Before Installation

• 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
   <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:  The copiers in Rm. 218 are named "RM 218 Sharp Color A" and "RM 218 Sharp Color B."
   
   
7. Double-click the name of the printer you want to install.
