Adding Printers on the Macintosh

This is a package that will install the printers in the TCS on a macintosh running OS X 10.2.X - 10.5.X. If you have administrator rights on your Macintosh all you really need to do is download the following disk image, mount it by double clicking on it once it's been downloaded, and then run the installer package included in it called CELS_Printers_1.x.x.mpkg by double clicking on it.

CELS_Printers.dmg

Current version of the package, as of 11/04/09, is 1.0.5

You will be able to choose the printers that you would like to install.

Please do not share your printers on the network. In Tiger, uncheck "Share these printers" in the sharing tab of the Printing Preferences. In Leopard, under Sharing Preferences, uncheck "Printer Sharing".

If there is a printer you believe should be served by our print server, but is not, please let us know.


Currently 10.6.x (Snow Leopard) is unsupported by the CELS_Printers package. You can install this package if you have administrator rights on your machine, There's a manual included for installing it. Contact the Help Desk for assistance with configuring individual printers.

Setting up a Cover Page

In your Print dialog, hit the little triangle next to the printer name, then from the lowest dropdown box in that box, choose "Cover Page", then select your preference. It will be remembered on a per-printer basis.
