Further Information
Most printers, copiers and multi-function devices have an identification label showing the device's "P-number". This unique identifier will help you add or remove the correct printer, and should be included when contacting the Service Desk for printing support.
Printers are specific to the desktop / notebook that you set them up on. If you use a different computer you will need to setup any printers that you want again.
