If you have a departmentally-owned computer, try following the steps in Printing (macOS) - Mapping a Printer on a UW Device instead.

If you do not know the model or IP address of the printer, please contact Technical Support, noting your department and the location of the printer.

1. If possible, find the driver online and install it.
   • Departmental copiers and multi-function printers (MFPs) require drivers.
   • Smaller desktop printers may use either dedicated drivers found online or the built-in Generic PostScript Printer driver.
2. Open System Settings (System Preferences in macOS 12 and earlier).
3. Scroll down and select Printers & Scanners.
4. Add a printer:
   • For computers running macOS 12 and earlier, click the + (plus) button on near the bottom left of the window.
   • For computers running macOS 13 and later, click Add Printer, Scanner, or Fax.
5. In the Add Printer window, navigate to the (IP) tab in the center.
6. Enter information as follows:
   1. Address: The IP address of the printer.
   2. Protocol: HP Jetdirect - Socket.
   3. Name: An easy to remember name of your own choosing.
   4. Use: The driver selection field may populate automatically.
      • If you installed a driver and it auto-populates, continue to Step 7.
      • If you installed a driver and it does not auto-populate, choose Select Software... and search for the driver by the model number.
      • If you did not install drivers, choose Generic PostScript Printer. This option may not work for all printers, particularly copiers and MFPs.
7. Click Add.
8. If asked about printer options, select the appropriate options and click OK. Most printers support "duplex" or two-sided printing.

Troubleshooting

• Retry the same steps, but select Line Printer Daemon - LPD during step 6b.
