printer setup for apple macos

 

on department-managed computers

department-managed computers running apple macos should already have all of the department printers pre-configured for immediate use.

in any macos application:

  • go to the "file" menu and select the "print..." option.
  • in the "printer:" popup menu on top, select the department printer you want to print to.

 

on self-managed computers

your computer/device must be connected to a ucsd wired/wireless network in order to print or you will get errors about being unable to connect to the printer.  for wifi, you must be connected to the "ucsd-protected" wifi.  printing will not work while connected to the "eduroam" or "ucsd-guest" wifi networks.

to configure your own computer to print to a department printer, follow the below instructions:

 

quick printer setup

  • download and install the latest hp printer drivers for macos from apple.
  • "apple" menu > "system settings/preferences..." > "printers & scanners" icon > "+" button
  • printer type: ip
  • protocol: hp jetdirect - socket
  • address: (see department printers list, type in the printer's ip address ("172.16.145.91", etc.) or hostname ("math-prn-p6016.ucsd.edu", etc.)
  • queue: (blank)
  • name: p6016 (or color6016, etc.)
  • location: (blank)
  • use driver: hp laserjet 600 m601 m602 m603 (or hp laserjet 500 color m551, etc.)
  • printer options: duplex unit = on, tray 3 = hp 500-sheet input tray
