Printing Wirelessly to a Public Printer from Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger)

Before beginning locate the printer you wish to use. In Pelletier Library, the printers with the red labels are available for printing from student laptops. Note the Printer Name, Printer IP and Printer Model, displayed on a label on the printer. You will need to enter this information when setting up the printer. Be sure you choose the Wireless Printer IP to set up printing from a wireless laptop. Note: Printer information will differ from that shown below.

Current printers and IP addresses for wireless printing are:

Location	IP Addresses	Printer Name	Printer Model
Pelletier Library Ground Floor	141.195.190.72	Red Ground	HP Laserjet 4000
Pelletier Library Ground Floor	141.195.190.77	Red Ground #2	HP Laserjet 4100

If this is the first time you have printed to this printer you will need to add the printer to your list of available printers. The instructions below will guide you through the process. You will only need to do this once for each printer you wish to use. If you have printed to this printer before, simply connect your computer to the wireless network and follow the printing instructions.

To add a new printer, connect your computer to the wireless network and open Printer Setup Utility (located in Applications/Utilities).

Click the Add icon on the Printer List toolbar.

Select IP Printing from the Printer Browser toolbar. Select HP Jet Direct - Socket for the Protocol drop-down. Enter the Printer IP that you noted from the label on the printer in the Address box (Printer IP may differ from that shown below). Replace the value in the Name box with one that makes sense to you, and fill in the Location box, if desired. Select HP from the Print Using drop-down and in the list below that select the printer model you noted from the label on the printer (Printer Model may differ from that shown below). Click Add.

If the Installable Options window displays, click Continue without checking any boxes.

The printer you just added will automatically become the default printer for your computer (indicated by its listing in bold). Most likely, you will want to change this. Simply select the printer that you would like as your default printer and click Make Default.

To print to this printer, open any application and select File > Print... Use the drop-down Printer list to select the printer with the name you gave the printer and click Print.
