# Printing on macOS
**Before setting up your printers, please review the overview of [Printing at ICERM](https://docs.icerm.brown.edu/books/it-resources/page/printing-at-icerm "Printing at ICERM").**
*The following instructions assume you are connected to the Brown University network via [wireless](https://docs.icerm.brown.edu/books/it-resources/page/wireless-access-at-icerm "Wireless Access at ICERM") (Brown, Brown-Guest, or eduroam).*
### Setup Instructions

1\. Open **System Settings** (Apple Menu > System Settings) and click on the “Printers & Scanners” tab in the left sidebar.
