Printer Set-up for Windows
How to install a printer on a Windows machine.
Printer Setup on Windows
- Make sure you are connected to IllinoisNet. Go to the network address by searching for "Run" or "Windows + R", and type in the address: \\ischoolprint.ad.uillinois.edu\Drivers. Select OK. If you are prompted to enter credentials, enter your NetID email and password to continue. Do not check the box to remember these credentials.
NOTE: If you accidentally entered the wrong credentials and you are unable to change them to continue to the printer setup, go to your Settings. Select Credential manager, then Windows credentials. It should be listed at the top of the page under Windows credentials. Click the option to remove the credentials, then try Step 1 again. - Click the Printer Setup Script folder, then Windows. There should be two files inside: "Printer-Setup" and "Unmap-Printers". To install printers, right-click on Printer-Setup, then select Run as administrator to continue. Select Run again.
- "Printer-Setup Script" will map all available printers based on your status at the iSchool (Faculty/Staff or student). After selecting the script, it will ask you to choose which location you want to install printers for, 614 (the new iSchool building) or 501 (the old iSchool building). Type 1 to choose 614, 2 to choose 501, or 3 to Exit the script. After you type a number, press Enter.
- The script will then ask you to enter your current iSchool status. Type 1 if you are faculty or staff or type 2 if you are a student, then press Enter to continue.
- You will then see a prompt reading "Mapping printers for (location)...". If you see this window, do not do anything or click anything outside the window. Otherwise, you may accidentally cancel the script and the printers will not be installed.
- When the script is finished, a new window should appear showing the list of printers and a completion prompt at the bottom. Press Enter.
- When the script is done running, it will ask if you want to map other printers.
- If you select 1, the script will restart with its initial prompts, and you can install printers for the other building.

- We recommend that you create a test Word document and print it to a nearby printer to ensure everything has been set up appropriately.
Unmapping Printers on Windows
- The "Unmap-Printers" script is used to remove all iSchool printers from your computer. This script is primarily used for troubleshooting printer issues.
- If you need to troubleshoot printer issues, please run the mapping script first to re-map all printers. If this does not fix the issue, then use the "Unmap-Printers" script to remove everything before adding them back with the mapping script.
