Adding Printers on Intune Devices

Note: If your machine is off campus, Global Protect VPN needs to be connected to access UNBC printers.

Note: First time Ricoh driver install may ask for admin credentials.  If you are presented with admin credentials prompt, please submit a ticket to support@unbc.ca.

Note: The best practice is to install and use BWPrinting and ColourPrinting print queues, and not specific printers. A print job sent to BWPrinting or ColourPrinting can be released from any Ricoh MFD on campus.
