Office Printers on campuses

Based on the directive from Senior Management Group, UniSA has implemented a standard default printer setting across all campuses. The default printer configuration states that printouts by default will be:

• black and white
• duplex/double-sided

Users can change these settings per document, however group policy will return the settings back to above stated defaults.

NOTE: This means that users can no longer set other settings, like Secure Printing or Stapled outputs, as default.

1. Type desired print server in Windows search:
   • Mawson Lakes/Whyalla/Mount Gambier
     \\mlprint.unisa.edu.au
   • City West/Light Square/101 Currie Street
     \\cwprint.unisa.edu.au
   • City East
     \\ceprint.unisa.edu.au
   • Magill
     \\mgprint.unisa.edu.au
2. Hit Enter
3. Double-click required printer(s) to install

   <CAMPUS>-<BUILDING>-<LEVEL>-<ROOM>-<PRINTER TYPE>. Printer naming convention for all other UniSA Staff <ORG2>-<CAMPUS>-<TYPE>-<BUILDING><LEVEL>-<ROOM>
