Note: It is best to install a driver for your printer. If you are going to add a Dell printer you should download a dell driver. If you are going to use an HP, Konica Minolta, or Brother you should get the driver from their website. If you need assistance finding the correct driver for your printer please reach out to the help desk at (620)-341-5555 or reach us by email at helpdesk@emporia.edu
0) After downloading and installing your printer driver you are ready to add the printer to your computer.
1) Click on the Apple icon in the upper left, then click System Preferences.
2) Click on Printers & Scanners.
3) Click "Add Printer, Scanner, or Fax"
4) Select the IP tab.
IMPORTANT: If you do not know the IP of the printer you are trying to connect to, please contact the Help Desk at 620.341.5555
For Address, enter the numerical IP address of your printer. This can be found on a label on the printer.
Enter the alphanumeric Name of the printer. This also is found on the printer and will be a combination of the room number and printer model number.
If you’d like, you can enter the printer’s location. This is helpful if you print to multiple printers so they will be easier to tell apart.
In the Use option, choose the driver specific to your printer.
5) If your printer has a duplex unit or any other options, select them, then click OK.
The printer is now installed and will be available in your list of printers.
