MFC printing - Windows (campus computer)

How to install & print to a multifunction copier (MFC) on a Faculty or Staff computer running Windows.

The Toshiba multifunction copiers (MFC) can be added as a printer to your Windows St. Olaf computer. This allows you to print to the nearest MFC in your department or area. With this option, your print job is printed immediately (after addressing the PaperCut client pop-up) to the selected printer. Printer names start with “mfc” and end with the department or location name e.g. mfc-it.
