Step 1: connect to server
Fill the address field with the server’s name preceded by two backslash: \\<server name>
(usually, backslash is obtained pressing ‘Alt’ + ‘<‘)
![](https://www.epfl.ch/campus/services/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/install_wind_EN_1.jpg)
Server names:
- printEPFL1 : access to the students deserved pool
- printEPFL2 : access to the co-workers deserved pool
- printEPFL4 : access to the students deserved pool
- printEPFL5 : access to the co-workers deserved pool
Those 4 servers are available for better load balancing, but they are all identical. You can use them interchangeably.
Once the network address is entered, you will be asked for authentication.
Step 2: enter your credentials
Therefore use your Active Directory account: intranet\your_username and your Gaspar password

The list of available printers and pools will be displayed but no printer should be installed; it is simply a matter of making the connection with the server and being authenticated on it

Step 3: download the driver
For a PCL queue
- SecurePrintPCL-Col : to print in Color, in PCL format (smaller file size); ideal for “Office” documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.)
- SecurePrintPCL-BW : to print in Black and White, in PCL format (smaller file size); ideal for “Office” documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.)
Download the ZIP file containing the PCL driver
>>> Canon Plus PCL6 Driver <<<<<
Extract information from Zip file by double clicking on it

For a “color” queue, enter one of these ports
- \\PrintEPFL1\SecurePrintPCL-Col
- \\PrintEPFL2\SecurePrintPCL-Col
- \\PrintEPFL4\SecurePrintPCL-Col
- \\PrintEPFL4\SecurePrintPCL-Col
For a “Black and White” queue, enter one of these ports
- \\PrintEPFL1\SecurePrintPCL-BW
- \\PrintEPFL2\SecurePrintPCL-BW
- \\PrintEPFL4\SecurePrintPCL-BW
- \\PrintEPFL4\SecurePrintPCL-BW
Then install the driver

Take the configuration file that is suitable for the printer that is in the zip of the file that we have previously downloaded
Ex : IR-ADV (Type 046)SP-PCL-COL.typ
Uncheck “Retrieve device information”
Then click “OK”
Click on “Apply”, then on “OK”
For a PS queue
- SecurePrint-Color : to print in Color; larger size but ideal for PDF documents, for example
- SecurePrint-BW : to print in Black and White; larger size but ideal for PDF documents, for example
Download the ZIP file containing the PS driver,
