Macintosh Leopard - Adding a Printer


The print settings have changed with OS 10.5 (Leopard). The printer setup utility is no longer under Utilities, so you will need to follow these steps to add a new printer

1. Go to Apple -> System Preferences

2. Select Printer & Fax under Hardware

3. Here you will see all of your printers you have installed. To add a new printer, click on the +on the left side beneath the printer list window .

4. The screen below will appear. If you haven't added a printer in a while this screen may take a few minutes while it populates the list and searches for new drivers. When it is finished, you can search for your printer which will start with FPSC if it is a network printer. Select the printer and it should auto fill a Name, Location, and a print driver under Print Using. If it does not find a driver, you will need to go to the manufacturer's website and download the proper drivers and run this again. When everything is autocompleted click Add.

5. You can now close the Print & Fax screen and the printer will be ready to use.
