Printing with iPrint (Windows)

Note: These instructions have been detailed using Mozilla Firefox.  However, the process for installing and using iPrint printers via Firefox or Internet Explorer in Windowsare extremely similar and these instructions, while not identical, can be used.  iPrint printing is available for the Mac and for Linux.  Mac instructions are available on the Computing Web site.  If you are a Linux user and are interested in using iPrint, please call the Help Desk at x7440.

iPrint printer installations are available from Web pages hosted on the Novell Netware servers.  Use the appropriate URL as follows:

IS and Library/Lab Public printers:  http://is.brynmawr.edu/ipp

Administrative Offices:  http://admins.brynmawr.edu/ipp

Academic Departments:  http://acads.brynmawr.edu/ipp
