Printing via Windows is fairly straightforward. There are currently two print servers,
print.coe.drexel.edu(new)printserve.coe.drexel.edu(old)

Connections to most departmental printers are now being pushed out using Drexel's JAMF Mac administration tool. For manual connections, IPPS (IPP over HTTPS) can be used.
All of the printers on the print.coe.drexel.edu may be printed to via IPPS protocol over HTTPS. You can log into https://print.coe.drexel.edu/ using your Drexel credentials (this server is only available from Drexel networks.
