NOTE: you must be logged in to eduroam using your eecs credentials for remote/wireless printing
Currently, it is NOT possible to setup remote printing on machines running Windows 8. If this is the case, we recommend printing using one of the school machines.
Machines running Windows 7 require Printer Credential Configuration to be setup for wireless printing. Steps for doing this:
1. In the Windows Start menu, search for “credential manager” and open Credential Manager
2. Select “Add a Windows Credential”
3. Enter the network address and credentials as shown below:
For Students
Internet or network address (e.g., myserver, server.company.com): laptopprint.student.eecs.qmul.ac.uk
Username: STUDENT\your_eecs_username
Password: your_eecs_password
For Staff/Phd
Internet or network address (e.g., myserver, server.company.com): laptopprint.eecs.qmul.ac.uk
Username: your_eecs_username
Password: your_eecs_password
4. Click “OK” Your credentials for accessing Student/Staff printing will now be stored on your system
Steps for adding printer:
1. In the Windows Start menu, search for ‘Devices and Printers’ and open Devices and Printers
2. Click on ‘Add a printer‘
3. In the Add Printer wizard, click on ‘Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer‘
4. In the list of available printers, select the one you want to use and click ‘Next‘
[4.a] If the printer you want isn’t listed by default, then click on ‘The printer that I want wasn’t listed’, and then click ‘Next’
[4.b] Click on ‘Select a shared printer by name’ and enter the printername in the following format: \\computername\printername. E.g., \\laptopprint.student.eecs.qmul.ac.uk\eecslabblack (for students) or \\laptopprint.eecs.qmul.ac.uk\eecsstaff (for staff/PhD)
5. Complete the additional steps in the wizard, and then click Finish.
