This Technology Tutorial demonstrates how to add printers to on campus University computers (Mac)

Select Print & Fax

On the next screen, click the lock on the bottom left hand corner if it is not already unlocked

Click the + sign to add a printer

You will need to contact the Service Desk at this point since you will need an administrator's password

When this screen pops up select the IP tab on the top of the screen

Enter the printer name in the Address section

The bottom section should auto fill. You can change the Name section to whatever you want so that it is easily identifiable.

Click Add
