Mac Printer Setup Instructions
Page Content Note: These setup instructions only apply to Mac OS 10.5 and higher. If you do not have Mac OS 10.5, please submit a helpdesk ticket to have your machine upgraded to the latest version.
If the printer in your area has been upgraded to one of the new Multifunctional Printers then you may not be able to print. If your computer is no longer printing correctly and they have recently replaced the printer in your office then please follow the steps below to set yourself back up.
(Note: If you would just like to set up a printer and don't have an old one, skip to step 5 of these instructions)
- Launch System Preferences (can be found under the Apple menu)
- Select Print & Fax
- Make note of the printer name that is not printing (such as CG-PRINTERS-B108_A)
- Select the non-functional printer and press the - button below the printer list, then OK to remove the printer
- Press the + button to add a new printer
- Select the printer that you noted previously in step 3. Note: Make sure the name starts with CG-PRINTERS at Pecos campus and WC-EMPLOYEE at the Williams campus
- Click Add
- Repeat for any additional printers needed
The most recently added printer will be your default. To change the default printer, hold the Control key and click on the desired default printer, then select Set as default printer
