PrinterLogic is a web application which manages our networked printers. The system will allow you to install a department printer by choosing it from a list, including the installation of the printer driver, for both Windows and macOS. This system is separate from SmartPrint (student printing) and the copiers (Papercut) on campus.
The PrinterLogic system does NOT support wireless printing.
