BluePrint Support - Install Printer by IP: Windows Control Panel

Printing at Yale and certain Yale/printing related features require devices to be connected to the Yale Network via ethernet, Yale Secure Wifi, or Yale VPN for access.

Some Yale websites and services are not accessible if using custom DNS settings.  This will help you identify your current DNS setting and change it back to Yale’s.
