It's best to have your computer fully patched from Settings > Windows Update.

Instruction on connecting to print queues in A&S. This works when connected to SU's network. We have 64 bit drivers installed.

Connect your laptop to AirOrangeX, SU's WiFi network.

  • Press Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog box.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

  • In the dialog box type "\\printers.ad.syr.edu" and hit OK.



  • In the "Enter network credentials" box...
    • User name: Enter your SU email address. 
    • Password: Your NetID Password
    • Check "Remember my credentials".



  • The window that opens is a list of all the printers we have shared off that printer. The "details" view may be easiest to read.



    • All Arts & Sciences printers have a name that starts with AS-. After that comes the department prefix. The name keeps adding more details to the left as required to uniquely identify it.
    • Locate the printer you want to add and double click on it.  The printer is now available for you to use.
