Adding Printers

Windows

  1. Right click on the start menu button, then click on 'Control Panel'.
  2. Click on 'View devices and printers' under the 'Hardware and Sound' heading, then in the bar at the top on the window, click on 'Add a printer'.
  3. Select 'The printer that I want isn't listed' at the bottom of the window.
  4. Select the second radial button on the list that appears, reading 'Select a shared printer by name'. Copy the printer location field from the table above that corresponds to the printer that you want to install, then paste it into the text field and click the 'Next' button.
  5. Now you need to select a printer driver from the pop-up menu. Search for the driver that best matches the model name in the table above, and click 'OK'.
  6. Click the 'Next', and then 'Finish' buttons to finish adding the printer.

macOS

  1. Navigate to 'Apple Menu > System Preferences'.
  2. Click on 'Printers & Scanners', then in the bottom left corner of the new preferences window click on the '+' icon.
  3. In the 'Add' popup menu, hold the control key and click to the right of the printer icon labeled 'Windows' in the top left corner. In the dropdown that appears, select the Customize Toolbar option.
  4. In the new dialog box, drag the gear icon labeled 'Advanced' into the toolbar at the top of the window, then click the 'Done' bottom in the bottom right corner.
  5. Click the gear icon that was just added to the toolbar at the top of the window.
  6. In the 'Type' dropdown, select the 'Windows printer via spoolss' option. In the URL field, enter the macOS URL for the printer listed in the table above. Note: macOS Sonoma (version 14) you need add '?encryption=no' end of the macOS URL for the printer listed in the table above. (e.g. smb://spool.ittc.ku.edu/shredder?encryption=no)
  7. In the 'Name' field, enter a recognizable name for the printer. Lastly, in the 'Use' dropdown, select the 'Select Software' option, then select the driver that matches the model of the printer the closest. If no driver matches the printer model, click 'Cancel', then select the 'Generic Postscript Printer' option from the dropdown. Once a driver has been selected in the 'Use' field, click the 'Add' button. In the options panel that appears, click 'OK' to finish adding the printer.
