Set up MyPrint on a Windows Computer
The following steps will add a MyPrint print queue to your Windows computer. These instructions are primarily for students or others who have computers that aren't managed by Brown. If you have a computer managed by Brown, you can ask your computing support staff (ITSC or DCC) to add the queue(s) to your computer.
Find the Print Queue Link
- Look up the queue you plan to use in this article: MyPrint Print Queues
- Add the desired print queue name from the table to the end of
\\ppcutprcit.ad.brown.edu\
(For example, if you are trying to add MyPrint-BW, you will end up with\\ppcutprcit.ad.brown.edu\MyPrint-BW
) - Copy this to your clipboard — you'll need it in the next set of steps.
