Printing on macOS

Before setting up your printers, please review the overview of Printing at ICERM . 

 The following instructions assume you are connected to the Brown University network via wireless (Brown, Brown-Guest, or eduroam). 

 Setup Instructions 

 These photos are for macOS Ventura and newer . If your computer runs an older version of macOS, System Settings will look a bit different. For steps 1 & 2, Look for "Printers & Scanners" in the System Preferences, then click "Add Printer, Scanner, of Fax..." Steps 3 - 6 will be the same.   

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

 

 2. Below the list of printers on the left, click the  Add Printer, Scanner, or Fax...  button to add a printer. 

 

 3. In the add printer dialog that opens, click the “IP” tab and enter the printer’s hostname for the printer you wish to add, and select  Line Printer Daemon – LPD  in the  protocol  dropdown.
