How to add network printers on Macs

Before going further, you will need to install the SU Azure VPN following these directions.

  • Once you have the VPN installed, before adding the printers, start the VPN app and sign in. When you are done adding the printers, disconnect the VPN.
  • Every time you want to print, you'll need to first start the VPN, then send the print. When done printing, disconnect the VPN.
  1. Open System Preferences > Print & Scan

  2. Click the “+” sign > Add Printer or Scanner


  3. The “Add” window will appear. If there is not already an “Advanced” button on the toolbar (alongside the existing icons Default/IP/Windows), we will need to add it. Control+click on the toolbar area and choose “Customize Toolbar”.

  4. Drag the Advanced icon onto the toolbar and drop it.  Click Done.

  6. Enter the following:

    Type: Windows printer via spoolss
    Device: Another device
    URL: smb://arch-print.ad.syr.edu/ARCH-Bowser3
    Name: ARCH-Bowser3 (make sure not to leave it as arch-print.ad.syr.edu!)
    Location: Plot Room
    Use: Select Software...



  7. When you choose Select Printer Software, the Printer Software window appears. In the Filter box, enter a part of the printer name such as 806 to quickly filter the list. In this example, pick HP LaserJet m806 then click OK.

    If the HP printers don’t appear, you have to download the HP driver pack at http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1888. Install it, then go back to Step 6 and continue.
  8. Click Add.

  9. Configure appropriate installed options for the printer such as checking ‘Duplex’. Then click OK. 

    Each printer will have various installed options to configure. Consult the chart under Step 11 to get it right for each printer.

  10. The first time printing, you will be prompted to enter your NetID and NetID password. To save the credentials, click the “Remember this password in my keychain.”



  11. For each additional printer you want to add from the list below, repeat steps 5 through 9. We recommend adding the two B&W laser printers plus at least two color.
