Print from Mac
UPDATED GUIDE FOR INSTALLING PRINTERS File:Guide.pdf
Optional method for adding network printers
This is not a fully supported way of adding printers to a Mac (mostly for non-domain computers), as it cannot guarantee that all printing features will be available (i.e. stapling might not work). For further assistance using the optional procedure please contact IT-support.
It will use another print server (CUPS), and will require that a universal or specific printer driver has already been downloaded and unpacked or already installed on you computer (**)
Find the name of the printer you want to add. CUPS printer names does NOT start with "comp-". Printer list can be found here
Open System Preferences (under the Apple Logo) for adding printer.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Click "Add a printer" (the PLUS sign).
Click IP.
Enter the Adresse of the CUPS server: cups.compute.dtu.dk (which is then accepted as a "valid and complete hos name or address.")
Enter the printer in the Queue: example "cm322222a" and set the Protocol to IPP.
Now issue a name for the printer and a location if you like.
Choose the Generic Postscript Driver (do not use a PCL drive because colours are not supported)
Click "Add"
After a period the Setting up-procedure offers an opportunity to add a Duplex Printing Unit. Apply if available.
Press OK and the printer is now added and ready to print to.
