Introduction:
Network printers are provided by multiple departments on campus and printer services are managed and maintained by Information Technology. While not frequent, there is sometimes a need to move a printer from one location to another.
Printer Move Details
Printer moves involve multiple departments and a number of steps.
- Verify that there is power and a network port within 5 feet of the new printer's destination. If there isn't, additional costs and time may be needed to add the required items to be able to move the printer.
- Submit a work order to Facilities Management to move your printer.
- Complete this request to have IT staff configure the printer for the new location.
Please Note: As of the summer of 2022, if a printer is moved, the printer's name may also be changed. Be prepared to communicate the changes to those who print to the printer frequently.
Who can request this service?
What happens after I submit the request?
Once your request is received, someone will reach out to verify the details within 3-5 business days. If a network port and/or power are needed, costs and timing will be provided before the printer is moved and a project code will be requested. Once all work is complete, you will be provided the new printer name and instructions on how to delete the old printer and install the new printer name.
