Warning

If you are installing printers on a non-school owned PERSONAL computer, before going further, you will need to install the SU Azure VPN following these directions. Don't use this VPN on a school laptop or desktop.

  • Once you have the VPN installed, before adding the printers, start the VPN app and sign in. When you are done adding the printers, disconnect the VPN.
  • Every time you want to print, you'll need to first start the VPN, then send the print. When done printing, disconnect the VPN.
  1. Open System Preferences > Print & Scan

  2. Click the “+” sign > Add Printer or Scanner



  3. The “Add” window will appear. If you don't see an “Advanced” button on the toolbar (alongside the existing icons Default/IP/Windows), we will need to add it. Control+click on the toolbar area and choose “Customize Toolbar”.

  4. Drag the Advanced icon onto the toolbar and drop it.  Click Done.
