Installing Network Printer Drivers on a PC

Your computer must be connected to the UNR network (via Ethernet cable or Eduroam). If your computer is not connected to our network, you will not have access to any of the network printers on the print server.

If you have been granted permissions to access a particular network printer (and you have restarted your computer), you should be able to install the proper driver from the print server and begin using the printer.
