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 near your usual work 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.

Adding printers requires access to Pima's internal network via the PCC ACCESS wifi network or a wired connection.

Note: This article is about using PrinterLogic on Windows PCs. For information about PrinterLogic on Macs, see the Adding a Printer on a MacOS Computer article.

Instructions

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.
- Open the Start Menu, type Add Printer, and then click to open the App.
- In a web browser, navigate to https://pima.printercloud.com/.
The PrinterLogic interface opens, as shown here.
In the left panel, select the campus or location, the building, and the floor (if appropriate) where you are. The right panel then displays a list of available printers and a floor plan with icons to identify printer locations.
Identify the printer you want to use by selecting either the printer icon on the floorplan or the printer name from the list below the floorplan. A detail sheet opens and presents the option to install (add) the printer.
Select Install Printer. A confirmation request opens.
Confirm the installation by selecting Yes. When you do, a progress indicator opens.
When the message shown here opens, select OK.
Open Printers & Scanners (Start menu -> Settings -> Devices -> Printers & scanners) to verify the printer you added appears in the list, as shown here.
