1. Before installing the printer on your Mac, it is always best to install the latest version of the print driver for the printer if it is available. For general Lassonde building first floor printer (las1012), second floor printer (prt2), third floor printer (las3031), or Bergeron printer (brg303), install Ricoh's specific SP8400N driver which you can download here.
2. From the Apple Menu, select “System Preferences”.
3. Open “Printers and Scanners”.
4. Click the “+” button and choose “Add Printer or Scanner”. An “Add” window will appear.
5. In order to add an EECS printer to MacOS, you must have an “Advanced” button on the “Add Printer” toolbar (looks like a “gear”). If you don't have the “Adavanced” icon, you need to customize the toolbar and add it. To do this, press CTRL+click on the toolbar area, and select “Customize Toolbar”, then drag the “Advanced” icon onto the end of the toolbar and click “Done”.
6. Click on “Advanced” on the toolbar.
7. Add the printer as follows:
   • Type: Windows
   • Device: Another Device
   • URL:

     smb://pcserver1.eecs.yorku.ca/<printer_queue_name>?encryption=no

   • Location: enter the location of the printer
   • Print Using: Select the print driver that you have installed, or specify “Use Generic PostScript” if you don't have access to a suitable driver.
8. Click “Add”.
9. Configure the appropriate installed options for the printer. For example, enable the duplex option, then click “Continue”.
