Adding a network printer to a Mac
These instructions are for a Mac running OSX 10.5 /leopard, if you have an older o/s some of the screens may look slightly different, but the fundamental concepts are very similar.
Step 1.
From the Apple Menu, choose system preferences -> Print and Fax
Step 2.
Underneath the list of available printers already on your Mac, click on the plus sign to add another printer.
Step 3.
On the top menu bar of this window, make sure that “IP” is selected, and that under protocol is says “Line Printer Daemon, LPD”.
On the “Address” line type in the IP address of the printer you wish to add:
| 10.10.15.10 | PO Printer in purchasing (PO forms ONLY) |
| 10.10.15.12 | Library 4200 Duplex |
| 10.10.15.13 | Front Office Color Phaser |
| 10.10.15.16 | Front Office 4200 Duplex |
| 10.10.15.19 | Computer Lab 4200 Duplex |
After several seconds a message should appear under the IP address you just added saying that it is a “valid and complete address” and the proper driver for the printer should appear next to the “Print Using” line.
At this point is a good idea to give the printer an intuitive name that you will be able to recognize later.
Click ADD.
Step 4.
Choose Continue at this next window.
Step 5.
The printer you added will show up in your list of available printers.
If you would like to edit or view the print settings, from the main “Print and Fax” window, highlight the printer and choose “Open Print Queue” and then “Info” and you can edit the printer name and location and view the IP address.
At this window you can use the minus button to remove a printer, and edit the default printer from the “Default Printer” pick list.
Step 6. To set up duplex (2-sided) printing, available on Laserjet 4200 series printers
After choosing File > Print from within your application, choose the appropriate printer from the printer pick-list. From the third pick-list (it will say "Copies & Pages") choose "Layout". Toward the bottom of the window, where is says "Two-Sided: OFF", from the pick-list choose" long-edge binding", then PRINT to send your print job to the printer.
