How do I add a printer to my laptop?

Our updates have allowed us to enable you, the user, to install and update your own devices. Remember, if you need to add a printer to your computer, you must do this on your local computer and not within the VDI. Follow these steps to install/add a printer to your computer.

Go to "Settings"
Select the option for "Devices" (or "Devices and Printers" depending on how your settings look).
Select "Printers & scanners" from the left-hand menu
Click on "Add a printer or scanner" for your laptop to view any WiFi or ethernet capable printers.
If available, select the printer you want to add from the list --> You are done here!
If unavailable, click on the blue link for "The printer that I want isn't listed"
There are two options to manually search for your printer. Each option is to connect to your printer using the IP address that is located on your printer's display panel.
NOTE: this will only work for newer printers on campuses with a display panel and ethernet connection.

The first option is to search for your printer by selecting the option to "Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or hostname". Your computer will automatically search for the printer driver and once found, you can continue on to the next screens.
The second option is to select the option for "Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings". Select this option if you have already added your printer, but it seems to keep going offline or disconnect when it works for others. This option will create the most stable connection.
NOTE: If you have selected this option first and your prints do not print correctly, your computer did not find the correct print driver to install your printer.

Once your computer has found all of the printer drivers to work correctly for your computer, you can add it to your computer. Ensure that the setting for "Let Windows manage my default printer" is not checked for your printers to work correctly while using your VDI.
