You may have to download a driver from the printer manufacturer.\\ - You may have to investigate a little to determine which options are available for the printer you’ve chosen. After that, however, you are finished. For some older HP printers, you may have to select "Generic PCL Printer" or "Generic Postscript Printer" as HP does not publish drivers for those. After installing the printer, if test pages or documents do not print properly or at all, do not keep trying to print. Contact EECS IT to check on the status of the printer. Often, someone has submitted a print job that has stalled in the queue, preventing your job from processing. When this job is removed from the queue, all of your jobs will print. Most EECS Department printers allow access only from within the UT campus network. If you need to print from off-campus, please connect to the UT VPN before trying to print. =====Adding an EECS Printer in Windows 10===== Before you can add an EECS printer on Windows, you should first install a driver.
