Printers and other network devices without firewalls or similar security are not allowed on any campus network per campus policy. Many cheaper "bargain" printers are designed only to connect to a single computer via USB cable and hence do not come with any security. If you are looking to purchase hardware please see our recommendations section Printers

Please either submit a help ticket or email the above directly to help@engineering.ucsb.edu
