| |
− | can configure your Macintosh to print to these printer/copiers by following the steps below:
| |
| | | |
− | # Download and install the [http://www.math.wisc.edu/~ynagel/r47026L9.dmg Ricoh Aficio C4501 driver]. '''Note:''' you will need to have at least MacOS 10.5.

− | Open a terminal window and type the following commands
| |
− | *sudo tcsh
| |
− | *(then type an administrator password)
| |
− | * lpadmin -E -p 5 -v ipp://printserver2.math.wisc.edu:631/printers/5 -P "/Library/Printers/PPDS/Contents/Resources/RICOH Aficio MP C4501"
| |

− | ===Hints===
| |
− | NOTE: if have a personal Macintosh and you would like to print to our copiers you must do
| |
− | the following:
| |
− | * connect to our network with a WIRED connection - there are free ethernet connections
| |
− | in our two labs.
| |
− | * The username (aka short name, Account name) and password on your mac must be the same as your math dept username.
| |
− | | |
− | If your local username is different from your username in the Math Department, you can print using a command like this:
| |
− | lp -d P -U <yourusername> file.pdf
| |
− | (where P is the name of the printer (e.g. 5) and <yourusername> is your username.
| |
− | NOTE that you can only print postscript or PDF files)
| |
− | OR you can change your short username using these instructions
| |
− | http://www.macworld.com/article/132693/2008/03/changeshortusername.html
| |
− | See the section with this title
| |
− | The middle ground: changing just your short username
| |
− | | |
− | By default, files will print in B&W. To print in color, do this
| |
− | 1) save or print the file as a PDF - say file.pdf
| |
− | 2) from a terminal window on your mac type
| |
− | | |
− | lp -d N -o ColorModel=color file.pdf
| |
− | where N=3..8 is the number of your floor
