\uD83D\uDCD8 Connecting Managed Printers on Windows Computers
Find your printer’s network name. For Managed Printers, it will be “MP###” (the full formal name will include “SON-” in the beginning) and for personal printers on the network, the name will be something like “PRINT_###”
In the Windows Search box, type \\SON-Print and press Enter. On personal computers, you might have to type the full host name which is \\SON-Print.win.ad.jhu.edu and you might be prompted for your JHED credentials. If so, be sure to enter your username as WIN\JHED_ID
This should bring up a list of printers. Find yours from Step 1.
Right-click on that printer and choose Connect… and you’re done.
Depending on which type of printer you connected to, it should show up in your list as
“MP### on SON-Print” or “### <printer description> on SON-Print”

IMPORTANT These instructions for Macs apply to new printers/copiers as they are replaced throughout the school. They will still work for old devices, but the driver you are instructed to use below will be different. Unless you know the correct driver for the old device you connect to, be sure to only create new printers for devices that are listed in the New Devices Installed/Replaced table here SON Printer Replacement Project Additionally, if you create a connection to an old device, you may experience printing issues once the device is replaced. |
