Adding a Network Printer

Staff members of agencies connected to active directory have the ability to add printers to computers that they are logged into.

• Some printers are restricted by administration and you will need to contact the helpdesk to install them. 
• If you cannot find the printer, encounter other problems, or do not feel comfortable adding a printer yourself please contact the helpdesk.
