Search for & Install Printers

• Ensure the iPrint Client is installed on your workstation.
• Go to iprint.ok.ubc.ca to search for printers by building.
• Choose either Faculty/Staff or Student printers.
• Choose your building from the dropdown list to view available printers.
• The Search Results page includes the Room number and Printer Name so you can easily identify which printer you'd like to install.

Multiple Printers:
Each printer is labelled in the format format P####, where #### is a four-digit number. If there are multiple printers in a room, please visit the printer to verify its name before installing.

Colour Printing:
There are separate Printer Agents for printers that print colour. The Printer Agent is listed as P####-BW for Black & White. If the printer has the ability to print colour, there will also be a P####-COLOUR Printer Agent.

Note that all print jobs (regardless of whether or not the document contains colour) sent to a P####-COLOUR Printer Agent will be billed as a colour print job.

Access to the P####-COLOUR Printer Agents is restricted. You will need authorization from your Dean or Manager to access these printers.

Restricted Access:
Note that use of various printers is restricted to specific staff members. If you are experiencing difficulty printing, please contact the IT, Media and Classroom Services helpdesk at 79000 (toll-free 855-807-9001).

• Click the Printer Name to install.

Authentication:
The first time you install a printer using iPrint, you may be prompted to enter your Novell username and password (sometimes referred to as your "NDS" or "Netware" username and password). This is the username and password you use to login to any of the Windows computers on campus. For Macintosh users, this is the password you use to access the files on the campus file server.

• Enter your Novell username and password
• Click the "Remember my password" checkbox to avoid having to enter your password each time you use a printer.
• Click OK.

Installation:
Once authenticated, you will be asked if you want to install the printer now.

• To specify that the printer be your Default Printer, click on the "Set printer as default" checkbox.
• Click Yes.

MAC USERS: Note that the printer location information isn't displayed under System Preferences >> Print & Fax. Please visit the iPrint Search page to verify location information.
