Sometimes tech support will ask you to provide the name of a printer when you're having issues with a printer. Here's how you do that.
Read the label:
Every papercut printer should have a label with its name on it.
Some examples are:
mfp-cowee-01-t
pr-admissions-31-t
Understanding the name:
Because different printers have different functions, we have two major categories
Multi-Functional Printers (MFP), and Printers (PR)
MFP's have the ability to scan to email, flash drives, and network locations, and can also fax if connected to a phone line.
Printers do not have those functions, and are just normal printers.
