iPrint allows staff and faculty to easily select and install printers on their PCs by selecting the printer off of a printer map using the Internet Explorer web browser. A printer map is a drawing of a particular floor in a building showing room layout, room numbers, and printer icons. When you hold your mouse over a printer icon in a particular room on the printer map the name of the printer will be displayed. This name should correspond to the label on the front of the printer.
