Connecting Wirelessly to the Library's Printers: Windows XP

Sawyer Library recommends setting up at least two library printers in order to have a backup printer for times of high use.

After setup, you must be logged in to Suffolk’s wireless network in order to print. To log in, first ensure that your wireless is on, that you are connected to the ‘Suffolk Student’ wireless network, and that you have logged in with your wireless ID and password via a web browser.

If you do not know your wireless ID, please call the helpdesk at 617-557-2000. Library staff are unable to log you in.

Sawyer Library Circulation Staff cannot modify or alter the settings on your personal laptop. If you need assistance, please contact Suffolk IT at 617-557-2000.
