Faculty & Staff: Network Printers on KITE
Note: the instructions below are for Windows machines. (View Mac OS Instructions).
Universal Print
The recommended option for faculty/staff network printing is called Universal Print. This is Microsoft’s next generation print solution and is integrated with your Law School computer. This new system makes it very easy to add a network printer and send jobs to it. We recommend that all users use Universal Print - see our quick start guide.
Universal Print setup instructions
Note: Universal print currently works with the Windows OS only. Please use Kite printing to add the Seating chart printer.
Adding Network Printers (Legacy Solution)
IMPORTANT!!: If you are remote (not at the Law School), you need to be connected to Penn’s GlobalProtect VPN before proceeding with step 2.
To add a print queue:
- Hold the Windows key and press the R key to bring up the Run dialogue box.

Enter in \\printers-law.kite.upenn.edu into the Run Window and hit
Enter

-
Login with the following:
Username: KITE\PennKey (fill in your PennKey username)

This will bring up a window that will display the various Network printers. Double click on the printer that you would like to add to your device.
- The printer installation will run. When complete, the printer should appear under Printers (type Printers in search box in lower right corner) as “printername on printers-law.kite.upenn.edu”.
