Wireless printing in Loyola's residence halls is possible but not recommended due to how personal printers connect and broadcast on shared networks. ITS recommends using a USB cable when setting up and using a personal printer.
Note: Wireless printers are discoverable and accessible by other students on the network.
If you choose to proceed with wireless setup, follow the steps below:
- Install print drivers: Complete this step off-campus or using a hotspot where both devices are on the same network. Follow your printer manufacturer’s pairing instructions.
- Register the printer:
- Find the printer’s MAC address (see manufacturer documentation).
- Connect it to the LUC-TV-Printers network.
- Visit the registration portal and choose your campus.
- Select “Other Devices – Students, Faculty, Staff, & NAP.” Complete and submit the form.
- Restart the printer.
- Print a configuration page and find the IP address. If it starts with 10.201, contact the Service Desk.
- Set up via IP address: Use the IP address to manually install the printer on your computer. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for IP-based wireless printing.
Reminder: If your printer is powered off, it may receive a new IP address. Update this in your device’s printer settings as needed. Reconnect to the Loyola Wi-Fi at least once every 180 days to keep the registration active.
