Network Printers
Network printers belong to individual departments, but are set up on the LUC network for ease of access. Network printers are labelled based on their location (building code and room number). They are accessible from any Windows computer that has been imaged by Loyola ITS using the steps below. If connecting from a macOS computer or a personal device, the printer may be added via IP address.
When connecting to a network printer, it is only added to the user profile that is currently logged into the computer. Each user on the computer has to add the printer themselves while they are logged in.
If you are adding a new/replacement printer, you must first remove the old printer. i.e., remove the old Ricoh copier/printers if you are installing one of the new Konica/Minolta copier/printers.
- Search on "Printers".
- Select "Printers & Scanners".
- Find the old printer in the list and select it.
- Click "Remove Device".
