How to Add or Use a Printer at SPHS

The process of printing has changed at SPHS:
1 - If the printer you want to use is not in the Printer List, you need to add it.
2 - Some printers are designated as "public" and are available to students. Others are for staff use only and are not available to students.
3 - When printing you must authenticate using your Network Logon Name and Network Password.
