# 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

<p class="callout warning">These photos are for <span style="text-decoration: underline;">macOS Ventura and newer</span>. If your computer runs an older version of macOS, System Settings will look a bit different. For steps 1 &amp; 2, Look for "Printers &amp; Scanners" in the System Preferences, then click "Add Printer, Scanner, of Fax..." Steps 3 - 6 will be the same. </p>

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

5\. A settings options window may appear. Select “duplex printing” and save.
