How to add the network printers on Windows
This only applies to non-school owned computers. Printers are pushed automatically to faculty laptops and desktops.
Enter the following link in your browser’s address bar to download SURA, which is a small program that will connect you to the printers. Supply your NetID credentials when asked, and the download will begin.
https://sura.syr.edu/Download/Save the SURA file to your desktop. Then double click SURA to run it.
Enter your NetID credentials and click Connect.
- In the location box, enter Slocum, then click the Search button.
A list of printers will be displayed. We recommend you pick the ARCH-FAC printers closest to your office (pick more than one in case a printer is not working). You can select as many as you like, but the first time you add each type, there will be a delay as the driver is downloaded. Wait for it. Ctrl-click to select more than one printer.
After you select a few, enable ‘Automatically Connect to the Selected Printer(s) When Connected’. This means the next time you sign into SURA, the printers will automatically appear on your computer and you won’t need to search for them. Handy!
Henceforth, whenever you want to print, sign into SURA as in Step 3 and then keep the window open or minimized (don’t quit it or disconnect as you won’t be able to print). This will load the printers that you previously set up, and you won’t need to go through the other steps (unless you want to add a new printer).
Here’s a list describing each Faculty printer. We recommend adding the two closest B&W printers plus at least two color. We recommend adding the two closest B&W printers plus at least two color.
