Faculty/Staff Printing Instructions

These instructions only apply to SON Faculty and Staff as well as a few other affiliates. In most cases, the SON’s Managed Printers will automatically appear on Windows computers issued by SON IT. If you don’t see the printer you want to use listed or if you are using a Mac or a personal computer, you can follow the instructions below to manually connect to the printer.

 Connecting Managed Printers on Windows Computers

2. 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

3. This should bring up a list of printers. Find yours from Step 1.

4. Right-click on that printer and choose Connect… and you’re done.
