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:
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.
NOTE: All new printers installed across the University will use a common naming conventions in the format:
<CAMPUS>-<BUILDING>-<LEVEL>-<ROOM>-<PRINTER TYPE>. Printer naming convention for all other UniSA Staff <ORG2>-<CAMPUS>-<TYPE>-<BUILDING><LEVEL>-<ROOM>
NOTE: If you are adding an office printer on a personal device, when prompted for user name and password ensure you enter username in the format - uninet\<UniSA username>.
For step by step instructions (including screenshots) see the add printer page.
NOTE: If you already have files open e.g. Word, Excel, PDF, etc., you will still need to select the default printer from the list until that particular software is closed and then opened again.
For step by step instructions (including screenshots) see the set default printer page.
Right-click on the empty grey area and Select Customize Toolbar.

NOTE: Local printers are not on the network and are used under special circumstances only.
To add a local printer, please contact IT Help Desk to raise a call for Campus IT Team to facilitate the installation of drivers and adding the printer on the computer.
NOTE: The local printer will have to be manually added on each computer that requires access to this printer.
NOTE: Setting up a Follow-You-Print-Q also provides secure printing options. A staff member either taps their ID card or manually logs in to the printer to retrieve the secure document.
To setup secure print on a Windows computer, please contact the IT Help Desk. The request will be escalated to Campus IT to setup secure printing.
