Introduction

This article describes the process for adding a printer to your college-owned computer. You must do this before the computer can use the printer. Pima’s IT department initially set up your computer with printers that are near your usual working location. If you need to select a new printer near you or if you travel to a different College location and need to print, you can use PrinterLogic to add a printer to your computer.

Note: This article is about using PrinterLogic on Windows PCs. For information about PrinterLogic on Macs, see this Knowledge Base article.

Instructions

  1. Use one of the following methods to open the PrinterLogic interface:
    On the Taskbar, use the Show Hidden Icons caret (^) to open the system tray and click the Add Printer icon. Screen capture of the taskbar with the caret selected to show the system tray. The icon with a tool tip that says Click here to add printers... is highlighted.
    Open the Start Menu, type Add Printer, and then click to open the App. Screen capture of Start Menu search results with Add Printer app appearing in the top position.
    In a web browser, navigate to https://pima.printercloud.com/. Screen capture of a browser showing the URL of the PrinterLogic page in the address field.

The PrinterLogic interface opens, as shown here.
