Adding Printers in Windows

Public printers in the Physics Department are set up via print servers. All the public Sharp printer-copier-scanner devices are on their own print server called PCOUNTER2.physics.ox.ac.uk and all the other printers are via PRINTSERVERX64.physics.ox.ac.uk for 64 bit operating systems.

Note: Printing is NOT directly accessible via the eduroam wireless network. To print from a wireless device you will need to connect to Physics_S or use the IPP printer service.
