Tips

• If you’re printing from a web page, reload the page so the newly added printer appears in the print dialog.
• The printer may not be at the top of the list in the print dialog. Expand the list and scroll down to find it.

 

Important caveat — do not add or print to remote locations

• Only add and print to printers that are local to your current site
• Printing to a remote site can expose sensitive data. Please print to the site you are working at.
• If you’re unsure whether a printer is at your site, the location name is often listed first, followed by the department.
