Before going further, you will need to install the SU Azure VPN following these directions (not needed if you are at the Fisher Center in NYC).
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.
