Adding a Printer

Printing is a key component of any IT setup, and within the Gardens & Museums there are a number of printers available to print from, which are usually labelled with P0 (zero) numbers/asset tags. Adding the relevant printer is a straightforward process but differs slightly, based on device and whether you are on CONNECT on not. Instructions on adding the printers are detailed within this document.

If you find you need additional information (IP address) or print driver software (non-CONNECT) to add the printer please write to it@museums.ox.ac.uk for assistance.

Please you ensure you attempt this while connected via an Ethernet cable.
