Printing on Windows from your own computer

Available printers

Guide

If your laptop is connected to the WMI network, you can print from it directly from Windows.

1. Open Control Panel -> Hardware and sound -> Devices and printers and click Add a printer:

   

2. Stop searching and click on *The printer I want isn't listed:

   

3. Select Select a shared printer by name and enter printer's address, for example \\printers.labs.wmi.amu.edu.pl\Printer_A1_PS. Approve with Next button.

   

4. Enter login in LABS\s000000 format and LABS domain password, select password remembering:

   

5. Finish installation procedure.

   Due to the system's security against the PrintNightmare attack, there is a chance that the printer will not install properly on Windows.

   To disable the protection, open CMD with administrator privileges and type the command below. The given command allows you to install drivers as a non-admin user.

   reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\PointAndPrint" /v RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministrators /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
   

   This command makes your system vulnerable to PrintNightmare attack.

   We do not take any responsiblilty for these actions. At the moment, we do not know a better way to solve this issue. After the installation of the printers, we recommend to re-enable protection by executing the following command:

   reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\PointAndPrint" /v RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministrators /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
   

Printer removing and editing

1. Open Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Credential Manager -> Windows Credentials -> Expand -> Edit:

   

2. Enter new credentials paying attention to login format (LABS\s000000) and press Save:
