Printing: Add Alderman 305 printer to a Mac

This guide describes how to add the Alderman Hall 305 Canon C6555 printer to Apple computers.

Basic Requirements

Desktop computers connected to the university's network using a physical wire or hardline connection (Ethernet) should be able to connect to the printer using these instructions.

Laptops must be connected to the University Network via ethernet cable or eduroam WiFi network. Connecting to the university's network remotely via the Cisco Secure Client VPN also works.

For steps on how to connect to the eduroam wireless network, refer to How to Connect to Eduroam.

Troubleshooting

Installer Not Present in Self Service

If you do not see the printer in Self Service, please contact the Technology Help Desk and request Self Service access for the printer installer.

Prompt Not Appearing for Departmental ID

Make sure you are using the System Print Dialog when printing. Note that Safari and Google Chrome do not use the System Print Dialog when printing by default.

  • In Chrome, press Cmd+Shift+P to launch the dialog
  • Safari users will need to manually add the Departmental Code to the driver and setup a preset for the printer
