Note: Window users must use Internet Explorer to set up the online printers. Mozilla and other browsers will not function properly.

1. Use Internet Explorer and go to http://rcc-printers.ihouseberkeley.org/printers.

Then, double click on the printer you want to use.

2. On the left side under PRINTER ACTIONS, click Connect. Please note, you must use Internet Explorer or you will not see the Connect option.

Click Yes to install the printer driver and the printer installation will begin.
