The CapIT is currently changing the printing management system for the university from Pharos to PCounter, as well as upgrading our printer server. This transition will allow us to have a more uniformed printer naming convention for all printers across the university to reflect the following network printer naming format:

• Building-Location-Printer Model

You may notice that as you login to your office computer, a script will run in the background that will look for current network printers that are installed on your computer.  The script will update, install drivers and point your installed printers to the corresponding printer that is on our new print server. Below is an example how this printing naming convention will look:

• Old Printer Name: HP-1stFloor

• New Printer Name: Laws-1stFlrMailRm-9050

You will still be able to print to all of your current printers that are installed on your computer. Again, please note that the printer name currently installed on your computer will change by 2/24/28, if it has not already been updated.

If you have any questions, or issues, please contact the IT Helpdesk, x6508 or helpdesk@capital.edu.
