  3. Then navigate to the folder in which you saved the printer driver before and select this driver (there should only be one driver listed).
  4. Click Next and then Finish.

The default setting after the installation is colour printing.

 Note

If you change your u:account password or would like to change the account from which you print, you have to completely remove the whole entry for uprint.univie.ac.at in the Windows credentials. Then restart your device. Now you have to re-enter your data when using the printer. Make sure you spell it correctly with u\!
