Before adding a new networked printer, find out thequeue name (hostname)of the printer. Themanufacturer和model numbercan also be helpful in case the driver auto-detect doesn't work.

  • Thequeue nameis a set of six numbers and letters, starting with the letter P, then the first three letters of your building name, then the floor, and finally a letter (ex: PLIB8Z for a printer on the 8th floor of the Library).
  • If you cannot find the queue name, please contact theComputing Help Deskfor assistance.
