At the Edwards School of Business, you have the ability to connect your personal laptop to our printers through the Wireless Network (Click here to set yours up if you have not yet).  Once you have set your printer up, it will allow you to print to any printer that you can access in the building.

You will still need to have a positive print account balance (You can check that here).

Tips for Adding Printers

You will not need to reinstall the printer everytime you log off.

You will see a large list of all the printers on the network.  Be careful that you only add printers that you have physical access too.  For instance, Room142 is located in the lab.  Room171 is located in the secretary office behind a locked door.
