Wireless printing from a Mac is easy! There's nothing
to download or install - just configure a new printer right on your
Macintosh and you can send your jobs to the Pharos Pay-for-Print
station the same as if you were printing from a lab computer!
The information on this page will help you set up
Macintosh computer to print to the public pay-for-print printers
in the libraries and student computer labs. We also have general
information about printing available.
We recommend that you read both pages before you print for the first
time, especially if you are printing from an Adobe or Macromedia
application.
Information required to set up wireless
printing from Macs to printers in labs and libraries all over campus
is available on IKON's Wireless
Print Queues page.
Follow the instructions below and simply subsitute the printer address,
queue, and model number for your location and desired printer.
If you do not already have a driver installed for
the printer model you want to print to, you may be able to use
a generic driver or download the correct driver for free
from
Lexmark or
from Canon.
If you are using a PC laptop, you can print directly
from your computer after visiting the IKON webpage
for instructions on downloading and configuring a software client.
