Click OK and a login screen should pop up. Under username, type in CAMPUS followed by your Pomona username (e.g. CAMPUS\ces02023) and enter your password.

If you want to use this printer in the future, make sure to check the Remember my password checkbox. If you forgot, don't worry. See Step 6 once you are done.
