NETWORK Requirement BEFORE Installing Printers to Your individual Windows OS profile:
NOTE: Chromebooks will NOT work, as they are not provisioned for printing
Important Note: On a shared workstation (used by multiple employees - i.e classroom instructor station), each employee would need to install the printer.
Ensure that your college issued device (i.e. WIndows PC, Windows laptop, Windows Surface Pro) is connected to the College SECURED network using one of the following:
Hard wired by way of cable or docking station. An icon on the task bar
connection shows "SUNYOCCC".  |
OR |
WiFi to the College’s Secured network. An icon on the task bar
connection shows "EmpSec". 
NOTE: This will NOT work on the "SUNYOrange Guest" |
**Note:*** If none of the above connections are available, you can NOT proceed with printer setup. For security reasons, you must submit a ticket to get connected the employee network with your college owned device. Otherwise proceed below to install a printer to your profile.
