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.

Open System Preferences > Print & Scan
Click the “+” sign > Add Printer or Scanner
