How to Install a Printer

Follow these steps to install any of the available printers on a Windows machine:

Click on “OIT Printers” from the start menu of your computer. If you cannot find this shortcut, please contact OIT.
Double-click on the printer name that you wish to install. You can also right-click on the printer and select “open”.
There will be a delay of 15-45 seconds while your computer connects and automatically installs the printer you have selected. During this time, it may appear as if nothing is happening until a new window opens for the Windows Printer Installation.
Once the installation is complete, the printer will now be available for use.

For now, Mac users will still need to contact OIT for printer installations.

If you do not see the name of the printer that you would like to install or need further assistance, please contact OIT at oit@tufts.edu or (617) 636-0331
