Windows: Adding a Secure Print Queue

Add a printer (=printer, printer) to a Windows computer maintained by ICT services in the network of Oulu UAS or the university as follows (the computer must then be online on campus, either with a cable or in a wireless network):

1. 1. 1. Select Start
      2. If your PC is running Windows 10:
         1. Start typing Devices and printers and when you see the item in the search results, select it.
         2. Select Add a printer
      3. Its Windows 11:
         1. Start typing Printers & scanners and when you see that item in the search results, select it.
         2. Select Add device.
      4. If you see the printer you’re looking for in the list, select it. If you don’t see the printer you’re looking for in the list that appears first, select the “The printer that I want wasn’t listed” link, and then type the path to the printer directly in the designated field, in the format \\serverin_nimi\tulostimen_nimi. Press next.
         1. Print queues available to staff:
            1. \\rps1.univ.yo.oulu.fi\secureprint
            2. \\rps2.univ.yo.oulu.fi\secureprint
            3. \\rps3.univ.yo.oulu.fi\secureprint
         2. Print queues available to students:
            1. \\rps1.univ.yo.oulu.fi\studentprint
            2. \\rps2.univ.yo.oulu.fi\studentprint
            3. \\rps3.univ.yo.oulu.fi\studentprint
         3. Now you can choose whether to make the printer the default printer. It is a good idea to have a secure print queue as the default printer. Press Finish.
         1. 1. We use the Canon uniFLOW secure print queue. The printing system (incl. equipment) is in common use by the universities of Oulu.

N.B. Adding the printer path can only be done from machines maintained by ICT Services. From your own laptop, use email or mobile printing in the same way as when printing from home.

There are also other queues for special needs, e.g. Secureprint-Transparency. If you need them, you should ask about it from the Campus ICT service.

Mac: Adding a Secure Print Queue

If your Mac computer is in the ICT Services’ device management, install the printer from either Self Service or Company Portal.

Follow these steps to install a security printer on your Mac manually:

1. 1. 1. Before installing , search for the latest Canon driver for your operating system from Canon’s website.
      2. The file you’re uploading has a .dmg at the end of its name. It is Apple’s own disk image format. To see the contents of a disk image, double-tap the file to open the file and the contents of the disk image appear on the desktop or in a Finder window.
      3. Open the iR-ADV C5550_5560 folder and double-click to open the .qz file there. (.gz is a compression format for a file that allows the file to be reduced to a smaller space for storage and transfer.)
      4. A new file will open in your Downloads folder. Copy that file to the /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/ folder.
      5. Open System Settings.
      6. Open Printers & Scanners
      7. Select Add new printer…
      8. If you don’t see Advanced next to the Windows printer (the icons in the top row, i.e. the actions at the top of the screen),  press CTRL and right-click on the Windows icon.
      9. Select Customise Toolbar… and then drag the Advanced function (gear icon) up to the tools next to Windows.
      10. When Advanced appears in the list, select it.
      11. To fill in the information for the security printer, follow these steps:
          1. Type: Windows printer via spools
          2. Device: Another Device
