Macintosh

In order to print to a public printer in the Department you will need to use the campus VPN if it is not on a research wired network.

This page describes how to set up your Mac to use the Department printers.

Notes

If you are not on a research wired network you will need to authenticate with the campus VPN first using @cs as your login ID.

Set up a new printer

  • Choose which printer you are wanting to set up by consulting the list on the printers page.
  • Download and install the appropriate driver if required (notably for the Xerox Altalink).
  • Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
  • Click the "+" at the bottom of the Printers box, then click "IP"

  • Change the Protocol to Jetdirect

  • Set Address to the appropriate IP as per the printers page.
  • Set the Name and Location as you like (they don't matter for the purposes of printing).
  • Choose the appropriate print driver from the printers page.
  • Click "Add"
  • Congratulations! You have just added a printer for your Mac.
