Printer Names and Locations 

Each campus printer is labeled with the corresponding name. Students should double check the printer name to make sure documents go to the closest printer:

  • STU_Tech_Upper  -  Tech Center upper lobby
  • STU_Tech_Lower  -  Tech Lower Lobby
  • STU_Main_Bldg   -   MSBS Hallway
  • STU_Student_Ctr -   Student Center Mailroom   
  • STU_Library         -   Library 24 HR Area

 

Connecting to Printers

These steps must be done while on campus and your computer must be connected to the WVSOM-Student wireless network.

 1. Double Click the Map Printer icon located on the desktop:

Printer connection shortcut

2. After clicking the icon a window will appear asking for permission to run. Click “Run”

 

3. A command window will appear as the various print queues are mapped.  This window will close once the installation is complete. If the installation gets stuck on a "Connecting to.." dialog box, you may need to cancel and double-click the desktop icon to run the script again.

 

4. If presented with a dialog box prompt titled "Connect to printserver", enter your credentials. The user name field must begin with wvsom\ in addition to your normal account name. The second field will be your current password. Enable the checkmark to the left of the text of “Remember my credentials” and click on the OK button.

 

5. A reboot of the laptop may be necessary in order to complete the installation.  Once the system has rebooted the various print queues should now be listed and available to use.

 

Summary

New students must follow these steps for initial connection to the printers. Anytime a student changes their account password, these steps will need to be done again to regain access. It is also possible for the laptops to lose connectivity to the printers if off campus for a long period of time.
