Macintosh OS X

Installation of Macintosh Individual Printers - Snow Leopard

Introduction

The following step by step instructions are for Mac OS X 10.6.x Snow Leopard and 10.5.x Leopard printing to charged printers.

1. Download the latest Ricoh drivers for OS X 10.6 and install them.

2. In System Preferences select Print And Fax.

   

3. Click the + symbol to add a new printer.

4. If you don't have the Advanced option in your Add Printer Window, Ctrl-click on the tool bar area and select Customize Toolbar from the pop-up menu.

   

5. Click Advanced in the toolbar. Choose Windows from the menu.

   

6. The Printer URL should be filled in in the form of smb://printers.lboro.ac.uk/staff-mono where the Staff Mono queue is required. (For adding the Staff Colour queue see step 11.)

   

7. At present the driver to select is Ricoh Afficio MP 5000. Click Add.

   

8. Optionally change the name of the printer here to change what will be shown in the Print & Fax control panel and in the Printers list when printing. Click Add.

   

9. For Option Tray select Lower Paper Trays. For Finisher select Finisher SR 790.

   

10. When printing you will be prompted for your username and password which should be filled in as shown, with Registered User selected, Name in the format LUNET\username and Password completed with your University password. If you are the sole user of your system you may choose to Remember this password in my keychain which means you will no longer be prompted for your username and password as the job will be sent to the printer automatically, and you will be charged accordingly when you print.

    

11. For adding the Staff Colour queue these same steps should be followed, but the driver to be used is Ricoh Afficio MP C5000.

    

Printing to the print queue

When sending a job to the print queue if you are not prompted for your username and password immediately the job will appear in the printer window (this window will open automatically when printing) on hold requiring authentication. Highlight the job and click Resume, and then enter Lunet\ followed by your university username, and password.

Using the Printer

When it comes to actually obtaining the printout, you need to swipe your University ID card and select what to print out. It is your responsibility to press Sign Out before leaving the printer to ensure that no-one else uses your print credits for photocopying etc.
