Overview

  • Printer setup for wireless printing on Windows devices consists of three steps:

      • Note that this must be re-done when your NetID password changes

    • Install printer

    • Configure notifications

Set a Windows Credential

  • In your Windows toolbar, click to search, enter "Credential Manager" then click the search result for Credential Manager to open

  • Click Windows Credentials

  • Click Add a Windows Credential

  • Enter information

    • Internet or network address: "printers.ad.syr.edu" without quotes

    • User name: "AD\yournetid" without quotes, noting the direction of the "\" and substituting your own NetID for "yournetid"

    • Password: your normal SU password

  • Click OK





Install Library Printers

  • In your Windows toolbar, click to search, enter "CMD", then select the Command Prompt window 

  • Type the command below exactly, noting spaces and the orientation of the "\" characters

    START \\printers.ad.syr.edu\Law-Library1stFloor



  • Installation will take some time; after a minute or so, a status window will pop up to indicate that your computer is attempting to connect and install the printer

  • Choose the printer from the list

  • Choose Printing Preferences

  • Choose the Advanced tab

  • Expand the Notification settings

  • Click OK to apply the settings and exit

  • Use the manual instructions as above.  Note that you must be granted specific permissions to use these printers.  These permissions can be requested by your organization's leaders via LawHelp@syr.edu
