Apple have changed the appearance of the Printer Setup Utility slightly in each version of Mac OS X, so these instructions may not exactly match what you see. To add a printer using Mac OS X,

• open Printer Setup Utility, from the Utilities folder
• click Add.
• In the window that appears, select IP Printing from the pull-down menu, and for Printer Type, choose HP jetdirect.
• For Printer Address, enter the hostname of the printer, which is usually ljxxx.spa.umn.edu, where xxx is the room number (eg, lj342.spa.umn.edu). Most printers should also have a label with this information.
• Select the appropriate printer model under Printer Model.
  • Most of the time, the correct printer model should be detected automatically. In some cases, eg with the Xerox Phaser printers, you may need to install a PPD file for all features to work.
  • Xerox PPD files can be downloaded from http://www.office.xerox.com/
• Click Add.

Important, if you are not on the Tate Lab wired network (eg you are using wireless), refer to the note on the parent page

Please refer to separate instructions for printing to Xerox copiers or printing to color Toshiba copiers

Running the installer downloaded above is quite straightforward, and doesn't require answering any questions. Once the driver has been installed, you can add a new printer using the Print Manager.

These directions are for Mac OS 10.4:

• Click “Add”.
• Choose “IP printer”
• For protocol, choose “HP JetDirect”
• For printer name, enter “toshiba431.spa.umn.edu”, or “toshiba358.spa.umn.edu”.
• Finally, you may be asked about “installable options”. The correct settings for these printers are:
  • Finisher: Multi Position Stapler
  • Drawers: LCF

You need to enter your department printing code, otherwise the copiers will reject print jobs. The code needs to be entered when you go to print, not when you install the printer.

• In any application, click “File”…“Print” to open a print dialog. Choose the toshiba copier.
• In the third menu (“Copies and Pages”) choose “Print Mode”.
• Make sure the first box is set to “Normal”, and the second is set to “Department Code - Enabled” and enter your department code in the box to the right. To avoid printing excess pages, set “Do not Print Blank Pages - Enabled”. Note that if you open the 3rd popup menu again and go to “Layout”, you may specify multiple-up (multiple pages per sheet) and duplex (double-sided) options.
• In order for the computer to permanently remember your Department Code, you must save this as a “Preset”. In the 2nd “Presets” popup menu, choose 'Save As…“, and save it with a descriptive name indicating you've entered the Department Code (DC) for the copiers. Your computer will default to this preset on this printer in every program, from now on.
