Connecting to LSE printers from your own laptop

Please note: It is possible to print from your laptop without the need to install printer drivers, by using the Mobile Printing service. The service allows users to submit print jobs via a web browser when connected to the LSE network. Go to mobileprint.lse.ac.uk and log in using your LSE username and password to get started.

To print directly from applications on your personally-owned laptop, you need to have the required preconfigured printer drivers installed, as follows:

Add a connection to PaperCut and download printer drivers

1. Connect to the internet via eduroam or the wired network service in LSE Halls of residence
   
   
2. Click the Windows Start button
   
   
3. In the Search box, type Credential
   
   
4. Click on Credential Manager in the list of found items
   
   
5. Click Add a Windows Credential
   
   
6. Enter the following and click OK:

   Password: yourLSEpassword
   
   Note: If you store an invalid username and password (or change your password) this may cause your IT account to become locked out.
   
   
7. Download the LSE Printer Installer to your desktop and double click the file to install the printer drivers to your computer.
   
   Note: If a warning message appears, click Yes or OK to continue and wait for the process to complete.

The client software is only required if you wish to have access to real-time feedback such as account balance and popup account selection.
