Setting up a Network Printer in Mac OS X 10.3 and Higher
This page provides detailed instructions for setting up a network printer on your Macintosh computer.
Step 1: Meet the requirements
Setting up network printing requires Safari 1.3.2 or Mozilla Firefox version 1.5 (or later). You can determine the version of Safari by selecting 'About Safari' from the Safari menu within Safari. You can determine the version of Firefox by selecting 'About Mozilla Firefox' from the Firefox menu within Firefox.
Additionally, in order to print, one must be connected to the Novell network. College-owned computers already do this automatically. Personally-owned computers need to be set up to connect to the Novell network. You can do this by selecting 'Connect to Server...' from the Go menu in the Finder. Enter stuhome.stolaf.edu for the server name and click 'Connect.'
If you need a newer browser, install Firefox 1.5x. Download and follow the prompts and restart your computer if needed.
Step 2: Install the Novell iPrint client
Using Safari or Firefox, go to http://pubprinters.stolaf.edu:631/ipp. Click on the link labeled Install iPrint Client located in the upper-right corner of the window. Your browser will download the file iprint.dmg to your desktop. Double click the iPrint.dmg, then double click the 'iprint-sto' package. Follow the instructions on screen. Reboot your computer when complete.
Step 3: Install printers
Using Safari or Firefox, click one of the links below, locate the printer in the list and click the Install link (the name of the printer) to install the printer on your computer.
