Summary: This article explains how to install a building printer using the CCS Map Printers (PMU) utility and what to do if you receive a User Account Control (UAC) prompt during installation.

For Staff

Overview

The CCS Map Printers Utility (PMU) allows staff to quickly install approved printers located within their building.

The utility automatically displays printers available at your location and simplifies the installation process without requiring you to manually locate printer servers or drivers.

The PMU automatically displays printers available within your building. Printers are typically identified by room number and, when applicable, printer model.

Prerequisites

  • Ensure the Map Printers (PMU) utility is installed.
  • You should see the PMU shortcut on your Windows desktop.
  • If you receive a User Account Control (UAC) prompt during printer installation, you must first install the CCS Point and Print Enable utility from Software Center.
If you receive a User Account Control prompt requesting administrative credentials, complete the Point and Print Enable installation steps later in this article before attempting to install the printer again.
