Adding Printers

Installing Printers in Mac OSX

  1. Log out of your computer as yourself, and log in as the admin user that was assigned to you.
  2. On OSX 10.2.x, launch the application "Print Center"; on OSX 10.3.x launch the application "Printer Setup Utility". Both are in the Utilities folder, which is located in the Applications folder on your local hard drive.
  3. Click on the "Add" button on the top pane of the Print Center window.
  4. Use the first pull-down menu to select "IP Printing".
  5. Use the second pull-down menu to select "LPD/LPR" as the Printer Type.
  6. Enter the following without quotes into the "Printer's Address" field:

    "iprintserv.si.umich.edu"

  7. Un-check "Use default queue on server (if there is a box for it).
  8. Enter the name of the "Queue Name" for the printer you wish to add. Note: the Queue Name refers to the printer you wish to add. A complete list of the Printer Queues is included below.
  9. Select the Printer Model from the drop down menu (HP)
  10. Select the specific model of the printer you wish to add (the printer model is included in the Printer Queue name).
  11. Click "Add"
  12. From the list of printers that appear in the Print Center window, select the printer you just added and select "Show Info" from the printers menu.
  13. Choose "Name and Location" from the drop down menu
  14. Enter a more meaningful name (for you as a human) in the "Printer Name" field.
  15. Choose "Installable Options" from the drop down menu
  16. Check the "Duplex Unit" box (this enables duplex printing on our printers.
  17. Click the "Apply Changes" button.
Repeat steps 3-17 for each of the printers you wish to add.
