 ====== Network Printers ====== ====== Network Printers ======
-While all of our departmental computers are configured to automatically install our network printers, there may be times when you wish to connect a personal machine to print. This guide will show you how to do so on some of the more popular operating systems.+Due to issues arising from Microsoft's mishandling of print drivers in the wake of 2021's PrintNightmare exploit, we are disabling automatic installation of printers. To manually add them to your computer, please do the following: 
 +  - In the File Explorer, while on "Home" or "This PC" go to \\econfs001. You will see a list of printers and folders. {{:econfs001-printer-list.png|}} 
 +  - Right click on the printer you wish to install, and click Connect. The printer will then install itself to your computer.{{:econfs001-printer-connect.png|}}
