How to set up printers

Automatically added printers

• A card-HP queue for printing to any PIA printer is automatically set up for all users.
• Some institutes/departments have their printers pre-installed for their users.

Manually adding ETH printers

Normal ETH printers can be added in the same way as on your local Windows system. In rare cases, printers may be unavailable due to network restrictions. If this happens, please contact your local IT support group for assistance.
