Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit, Windows XP and Vista 32 bit are supported using the winprint server. Vista 64 bit have to use the CUPS server and this description can be found [#vista64 further down this page.]
 
  
How to add a printer to a Windows computer depends on whether the computer is joined to the DTU Active Directory domain (WIN) or not. To find if your computer is joined to the WIN domain do the following:

The available drivers found on this page required for using the optional way of adding printers only support Windows 10/11
# When you are prompted for a password it is your Windows domain password. If you have never used the Windows domain you must ask [mailto:itsupport@imm.dtu.dk?Subject=AD%20Password ITSupport]to set a new password for you.
+
# Alternative printer installation (when attached to IMMnetwork):<br /> - Open "Run..." (Win + R) and write: \\winprint.imm.dtu.dk<br /> - Wait for Windows to connect to printer share and list all available printers<br /> - Find the wanted printer in the list and right-click it. Choose: "Connect" (this will install the printer)

==Add a printer to a Windows Vista 64bit computer==
+
When choosing the right driver file in step 9: if several ".inf" files are found in the folder, choosing any of them should present the universal/global driver in the drivers available (next window).
  
To add a printer to a Windows Vista 64bit follow this procedure:<br /><br /> 1. On the Start Menu, select "Control Panel"<br /> 2. Under "Hardware and Sound", click "Printer" (If your Control Panel is in "Classic View" just click "Printers")<br /> 3. Double click "Add Printer"<br /> 4. Click on the "Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer". <br /> 5. Click on the "The printer that I want isn't listed" <br /> 6. Find the name of the printer in the list below. <br /> On the "Select a shared printer by name" Type in the Printer URL of the printer you'd like to use in this format: http://cups.imm.dtu.dk:631/printers/printername<br /><br /> 7. When you've typed in the Printer URL, you might need to install the specific driver if the driver is not listed. You can find a zipped printer driver for Windows Vista 64bit in the list below. Download and unzip it to a known location (i.e. your desktop)<br /><br />  1. When it asks for a printer driver, Click on "Have Disk..." and browse to the location of the extracted driver then press OK<br />  2. Select the driver that matches the model of the printer and click "OK".<br /><br /> 8. On the "Default Printer" page of the wizard, if you'd like this to be your default printer, select the check box.<br /> 9. On the "Completing the Add Printer Wizard" page of the wizard, click "Finish".

This guide is for users at DTU Compute only


This page describes how to add a network printer to a Windows PC. For a short general description of the printing systems and list of printers available at DTU Compute, please refer to this link.

For non-domain Windows PCs an optional way of adding network printers is described below.

There is a minor difference in installing printers whether your PC is joined DTU's Windows domain (win.dtu.dk, in short "WIN") or not. Pressing Windows key + Pause/Break key will open System Information. If "win.dtu.dk" is set under Domain, your PC has joined the domain.

If your still in doubt please contact ITSupport.

How to add a network printer from a Windows computer joined to DTU Windows domain (WIN)

Follow this procedure to add a network printer to your Windows computer joined the WIN domain:

  1. Go to "Start" → "Run" (or press Windows Key + R)
  2. Type \\comp-winprint.win.dtu.dk and press Enter
  3. Find the printer you want to use i the list shown (Printer names explained here).
  4. Right-click it and choose "Connect". The printer driver will now be installed - could take a couple of minutes.

How to add network printers for non-domain, non-registered (using VPN), or non-DTU-Compute Windows computers

This is not a fully supported way of adding printers to a Windows PC (primarily for non-domain Windows), as it cannot guarantee that all printing features will be available (i.e. stapling might not work). For further assistance using the optional procedure please contact it support.

This setup will print from an alternative print server (CUPS) and will require that a universal or specific printer driver has already been downloaded and unpacked or already installed on your PC (*)

  1. Find the name of the printer you want to add. CUPS printer names do NOT start with "comp-". Printer list can be found here
  2. Open the Windows guide for adding a printer manually. On Windows 10: Open "Settings" → "Devices" → "Printers & Scanners" and click "Add a printer or scanner"
  3. Click "The printer that I want isn't listed" (scroll to the bottom)
  4. Choose "Select a shared printer by name"
  5. Type in the Printer URL in this format and use the name of the printer found in step 1: '''http://cups.compute.dtu.dk:631/printers/printername''' (remember to remove "comp-" form the name)
  6. After clicking Next you will be prompted for the printer driver files on your PC.
  7. Click on "Have Disk..." then click "Browse" and go to the location of extracted driver folder
  8. Select the the universal/global PCL6 driver (i.e. Xerox Global Print Driver PCL6) and click "OK".
  9. Set as "Default Printer" if needed and click "Finish"
  10. [if it is a HP color printer] Click Printer PropertiesDevice SettingsDevice Type and change it from Auto Detect to Color

(*)

The available drivers found on this page required for using the optional way of adding printers only support Windows 10/11

When choosing the right driver file in step 9: if several ".inf" files are found in the folder, choosing any of them should present the universal/global driver in the drivers available (next window).
