Print from Windows

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

Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit), Windows XP and Vista 32 bit are supported using the winprint server. Vista 64 bit is not supported and must use the optional method described below. Windows 8 (32 and 64 bit) are not fully tested but basic printing features have been tested succesfully.

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

If your still in doubt please contact ITSupport.

For Windows Vista 64bit you will have to use the CUPS server. Procedure can be found at the bottom of this page.

Add a printer to a windows computer on the domain

Follow this procedure to add a printer to your Windows computer:

1. Go to "Start" -> "Run"
2. Type \\imm-winprint.win.dtu.dk and press Enter
