      How to add network printers on Macs

      Before going further, you will need to install the SU Azure VPN following these directions (not needed if you are at the Fisher Center in NYC).

      • Once you have the VPN installed, before adding the printers, start the VPN app and sign in. When you are done adding the printers, disconnect the VPN.

      • Every time you want to print, you'll need to first start the VPN, then send the print. When done printing, disconnect the VPN.

      1. Open System Preferences > Print & Scan

      2. Click the “+” sign > Add Printer or Scanner

         

      3. The “Add” window will appear. If there is not already an “Advanced” button on the toolbar (alongside the existing icons Default/IP/Windows), we will need to add it. Control+click on the toolbar area and choose “Customize Toolbar”.

      4. Drag the Advanced icon onto the toolbar and drop it.  Click Done.

        custom toolbar

      5. Click Advanced and wait for it to stop searching.

        advanced print menu
      6. Enter the following:

        Type: Windows printer via spoolss
        Device: Another device
        URL: smb://arch-print.ad.syr.edu/ARCH-Bowser3
        Name: ARCH-Bowser3 (make sure not to leave it as arch-print.ad.syr.edu!)
        Location: Plot Room
        Use: Select Software...

         

      7. When you choose Select Printer Software, the Printer Software window appears. In the Filter box, enter a part of the printer name such as 806 to quickly filter the list. In this example, pick HP LaserJet m806 then click OK.

        If the HP printers don’t appear, download the HP driver pack. Install it, then go back to Step 5 and continue.

        These drivers should install up to macOS 15.1.1. If you have a newer OS, please let us know so we can update the driver pack.

         

      8. Click Add.

      9. Configure appropriate installed options for the printer such as checking ‘Duplex’. Then click OK. 

         

      10. The first time printing, you will be prompted to enter your NetID and NetID password. To save the credentials, click the “Remember this password in my keychain.”

      11. For each additional printer you want to add from the list below, repeat steps 5 through 9. We recommend adding the two B&W laser printers plus at least two color.
