Printing software on Windows

Windows 10​ - Single user (device authentication)

Windows does not support per-job print authentication ​so the server generates a device identifier that ensures that all print jobs from this machine are associated with your WIN IT account. Do not use this method if your computer is going to be used by more than one person for printing.

The printers can be setup in Windows 10 by visiting this page https://printing.fmrib.ox.ac.uk:9192/print-deploy/client-setup/windows.html. On this page click the green Download button to download the client, then run it. This page is only available from the FMRIB network so connect FMRIB VPN if you are using a laptop​

Printing is now setup

Windows 10​​ Multiple-User​

 

Where a Windows 10 device will be used by more than one user you need to use the PaperCut client to associate jobs with your WIN IT account. This is done against your IP address so can occasionally result in print jobs being associated with other user accounts if IP addresses change during the life-time of this association.
To install the printer visit this link:

then click the green 'Download' button to download the installer. This page is only available from the FMRIB network so connect FMRIB VPN if not connected to the FMRIB ethernet network​. Run the installer and install...
