How to add printers in NUS

Something that I do often, so I’m keeping them here for easy access.

Windows

  3. Key in NUSNET account and password.
  4. Go to Devices and Printers in the Control Panel
  5. Choose Add a printer.
  6. Click on The printer that I want isn’t listed.
  7. Choose Select a shared printer by name.
  8. Type in \nts27\

Printer on Level 1 Technical Services: psts, pstsb, pstsc

Printer on B1: psc011, psc008

UTown Printers

Same as USP printers, but choose the correct IP address.

Microsoft Software for NUS Students

I can’t really believe why there are only several students who knew that we can get tons of licenses for Microsoft products under the education scheme (We probably paid for it under our school fees)

Anyways, here are the steps:

  1. Go to Microsoft Site
  2. Login with NUSNET account
  3. Download them all

Examples of cool software:

  • Windows 7/8/8.1/10 Licenses
  • Visual Studio Ultimate
