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 device that you set them up on. When you use a device for the first time, you will need to set up any printers that you want use.
