Mac OS X : Pullprint - manual setup

All users with a UiB Mac client should contact BRITA, if they do not have printers installed or are experiencing problems.

---

To be able to print to UiB (PullPrint) printers from your own private computer, you need to be connected to Eduroam or VPN.

1. Enter "System Preferences" and choose "Print & Fax"/"Printers & Scanners" (or the like).

2. Click "+" to add a new printer.

3. Click the Advanced button. *

  * If you do not have an Advanced button, please do the following:
    Right-click/Ctrl-click the toolbar in the Add printer dialogue.
    Choose "Customize Toolbar".
    Drag the Advanced button, the one that looks like a cogwheel, to the toolbar.

4. Choose "LPD/LPR host or Printer", and remeber to give the URL (see below).

  lpd://username@pullprint.uib.no/pullprinthp (for HP printers)
  lpd://username@pullprint.uib.no/pullprinthp_ps (for HP printers with PS (Aobe PostScript) Support)
  lpd://username@pullprint.uib.no/pullprintricoh (for Ricoh printers)
  lpd://username@pullprint.uib.no/pullprintricoh_ps (for Ricoh printers with PS (Aobe PostScript) Support)

  NB! It is important that you use your own username and not the word itself.

5. Go to "Select Software" and choose a proper driver.

  Ricoh Aficio MP 4500 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9 might be a good match for pullprintricoh.
  Ricoh Aficio MP C4500 PS might be a good match for pullprinricoh_ps.
  HP Color Laserjet 4730mfp might be a good match for pullprinthp_ps.
