This is the instructions for installing a networked printer on a machine that is not joined to the domain.

This will only work if connected to the UWPlatt wireless network or campus wired network.

- Click on the "Windows Credentials" button and then "Add a Windows Credential" link.
- Enter \\printzilla.ion.uwplatt.edu as the server, ION\"Campus Username" (Replace "Campus Username" with your campus username) for the username, and your campus password in the password field.
- Navigate back to the control panel and select "view devices and printers". (If you are not in "Category" view, it will be called "Devices and Printers".)
- Click on the "Add Printer" button.
- Click on "The printer that I want isn't listed"
- Enter in \\printzilla.ion.uwplatt.edu\. As soon as you enter the final "\" you should see a printer list appear. Scroll through the list to select the desired printer, or type the name of the printer queue if known and click next.
- A dialog should appear that displays the printer install progress. When complete, you will receive a confirmation page that the printer was installed. Click next to continue.
