Wireless Printing
Wireless printing from a Mac is easy! There's nothing to
download or install - just configure a new printer on your Macintosh
and you can send your jobs to the Pharos Pay-for-Print station just as
if you were printing from a lab computer!
The information on this page will help you set up Macintosh
computer to print to IKON's public pay-for-print printers in the libraries
and student computer labs. We also have
general information about printing available. We recommend
that you read both pages before you print for the first time, especially
if you are printing from an Adobe or Macromedia application.
Information required to set up wireless printing from Macs
to printers in labs and libraries all over campus is available on IKON's Wireless
Print Queues page. Follow the instructions below and simply subsitute
the printer address, queue, and model number for your location and desired
printer.
If you do not already have a driver installed for the printer
model you want to print to, you may be able to use a generic driver or download
the correct driver for free from Lexmark or
from Canon.
If you are using a PC laptop, you can print directly from
your computer after visiting the IKON webpage
for instructions on downloading and configuring a software client.
