The print system is handled by HP themselves on behalf of the college.

Printing from a Windows device

• Open Windows File Explorer and in the address bar type: \\ictprintservice-smb.cc.ic.ac.uk. You will be prompted to log in if you don't have credentials from a previous connection saved.
• You must ensure that you log in with your Imperial College account, not your DIDE account or your laptop account.
• To do this, log in as a user called IC\username, where username is your short username (e.g. jbloggs8, not j.bloggs8).
• Before you press OK to enter your Imperial credentials, tick the box you remember you for next time as shown below.

• You will now be presented with a screen showing all of the print queues at Imperial College. We are only interested in the two called MPS-Mono and MPS-Colour. Double-click on each of these two in turn to install them.
