Overview

---

In order to print from mainframe applications (IFIS, ISIS, PPS), a network printer needs to be registered through ITS.  Follow the steps below to register your network printer for printing from the mainframe.

 

Critical Concepts

---

• Check with your desktop support person to see if your area has a printer already setup to print from the mainframe.
• Printer must be a network printer and not a local printer that connects to a specific computer.

 

Steps to Take

---

1. Create a ticket requesting printer setup for printing from the mainframe.
2. Enter the following information in your ticket:
   • Username
   • IP Address of printer
   • Physical Location of printer (Building, Room Number)
3. Once remote printer is setup, you will receive a confirmation.  Your printer will receive a designated 'U' number (U123, U698, etc.).  

If you encounter issues after your printer has been setup, please submit a ticket along with the printer U number so the issue can be researched.
