Go to Start->Control Panel.

If you see "Printers and Faxes" select it, then "add a printer" from the left side.

It may then ask you for a username and password. The username is "uiuc\netid" (so, Ms. Booth's would uiuc\ervin). If you do not include the "uiuc\" at the begining it will not work. The password is the same as you use to log into the lab.

It may ask you for permission to install a printer driver--go ahead and do so.

Printing

Connect via the VPN and you can now print. It may ask you for your username/password the first time you print each session. Just remember to put uiuc\ at the start. Enjoy!
