List of our Network Printers and their IP Addresses

What do we mean by an IP Number?

Every important server or network printer has a unique IP number somewhat like each of us has a unique social security number.

How to Print to one of our HP printers such as the Computer Lab

  1. go to printer setup utility which might be in the dock or you can choose to PRINT and then choose ADD PRINTER
  2. choose ADD PRINTER under the PRINTER MENU ... you will see something like this (every computer a slightly different look)
  3. enter the IP number of the desired printer in the ADDRESS field for example 192.168.1.40 for the Charles Brown printer in building 70

  4. change the PROTOCOL to be SOCKET HP or perhaps HP Jetdirect - Socket

  5. choose the model for HP to be the type you are seeking (either HP LaserJet 2100 for the black and white one in the computer lab or HP Color LaserJet 2600n or HP LaserJet P2015 Series (for the most common small printer that we have at Storefront ... it might be necessary to have downloaded the driver before

  6. sEnter a name that will be used on your computer for all users such as Mr. Brown HP2015 IP=40

  7. it should now look like this

For the other printers, we need to get the drivers!

(if your Mac is over 10.4.4 then some of these may be included)

Notes from Roger when adding HP P2015dn to the server
