Printer Configurations

Find the printer you want to connect to in the table below. Then, follow the setup instructions for your computer.

Printers will only work while connected to the Yale network (including YaleSecure or Eduroam) while on campus or via the Yale VPN.

Note for Visiting Faculty: If running VPN from your home institution, printing to the Cowles/Economics printers will be blocked, as the Yale network will not recognize your computer. To resume printing, quit the VPN session on your computer.
