How to add a printer
Notice: We no longer support IPP printing. We now only support standard Windows-style (smb) printing.
Windows 9x/2000/XP
The simplest way to setup a printer in Windows is to follow these instructions:
- Logon to OSU_Access.
- Click Start --> Run and type \\printserv.engr.oregonstate.edu
- You will be prompted for a username and password. Provide your Engineering username and password. Username should be in the form ENGINEERING\username.
- Once logged in, you will see a list of available printers. Find the one you want to print to and click on it.
- You will be asked if you want to install the printer. Click Yes.
- At this point, you may be prompted for a username and password again. Provide your Engineering username and password.
- After the installation is done, you should be able to open the Printers Control Panel and see that the printer is installed.
- You should now be able to print to that printer from any Windows application.
Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.X)
- Open "System Preferences".
- Open "Print and Fax".
- Click the "+" button.
- Right Click on the blank space next to "More Printers".
- Click "Customize Toolbar...".
- Drag "Advanced" from the favorite items list onto the toolbar. When you have finished dragging it onto the toolbar click "Done".
- Click "Advanced". This may take up to 1 minute to complete. Click on the "Type:" field and set it to "Windows". This may take up to 30 seconds to complete.
- Type in the URL for the printer. The URL will always start "smb://printserv.engr.oregonstate.edu/". After the last slash you will need to type the name of the printer. There is a list of the most common printers at the top of this page, such as "dear115". Give the printer a name, and click the bottom field titled "Print Using:" to select a driver. Generic PostScript should always work, but if you want to use some more advanced options, you will need the correct driver.
- Type the model number into the search box as shown and select the appropriate driver for the printer you are mapping to. Click "Add"
- If you have not been asked already, the first time you print you will be asked to provide credentials. Input "engineering\USERNAME" into the "Name:" field and your engr password into the "Password:" field. Check the "Remember this password in my keychain". Congratulations, your printer has been added.
Notice: If you input the wrong password, the job will sit on your mac's spooler indefinitely. You will need to click on the printer icon on your doc, and resume the job to be prompted for your credentials again.
Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.11)
- Open "System Preferences".
- Click "Print & Fax".
- Click the "+" button.
- Hold down "Option" and click "More Printers".
- In the top drop down, select "Advanced".
- For Device, select "Windows Printer via SAMBA".
- For Device Name, type in what you want the printer to be called. You can choose any name you like.
For Device URI: Use your engineering username for "username" and use
your engineering password for "password". You can find the lab printer
names as well as model numbers at the top of this web page. Use the
printer name of the printer you want to print to instead of "dear119"
if you are not going to be printing to dear119.
- Select the printer model.
- Click "Add".
