If you are using an SCSCF-managed Windows computer, authentication will be handled by your normal Windows login, so you can skip this first step.
If you are using a personal Windows computer, you may need to map a network drive in order to cache your Andrew credentials before you can add a printer:
- Open a File Explorer window (accessible via the start menu)
- Right-click on This PC or My Computer in the left hand side bar.
- Choose Map network drive... from the drop down menu.
- Select a drive letter in the Drive box.
- In the Folder box, type the path for server and shared resource in the following format:
\\scs-print.srv.cs.cmu.edu\print-auth
- Select the checkbox that says "Connect using different credentials".
- Select Finish.
- A request for a user name and password will be prompted.
- Enter ANDREW\username and your AndrewID password.
- Select the checkbox that says "Remember my credentials".
Once this drive is mapped, you can proceed with the rest of the steps.
-
Open Bluetooth & devices -> Printers & scanners. (Found in Settings).
-
Next to Add a printer or scanner at the top of the window, click Add device.
-
Next to The printer that I want isn't listed, click Add manually.
-
Click Next
If you are printing from a personal (non-SCS managed computer), you may be prompted for authentication. If so, use:
Username: ANDREW\Your Andrew ID
Password: Your Andrew password -
Click Finish
