adding printers using your windows device

Printing From Your OCS Device at Home

The ability to print from your OCS device at home is totally dependent on the type of printer you have and the network setup in your home. If you do not have access to a windows device that is connected to a printer then you can make the connection to the Chrome browser for printing.  This process is described here. 

The method in the video below worked for a test printer from a student user account but is not  guaranteed to work for all users and their printer model or their configuration.  You must know what IP address your printer has assigned or has acquired.  Again, this is specific to your home network environment.  If you set up your printer and  know the IP address the process should work with no issues. However, it may be that the printer acquired an IP address from the router that issues out the addresses randomly and your printer IP address COULD change at times.
