| ## page was renamed from InstallingMacPrinter = Setting up the VPP printers for a Macintosh client = <<TableOfContents(2)>> == Setting up a printer for an unmanaged Mac Client (private laptops etc.) == There are two methods to setup the printer we provide with our services: ==== First Method: Install some printers with the provided PPD file (recommended for most users) ==== First of all, download the PPD that fits the printer you wish to use: ||Printer name ||Driver file || ||all VPP printers ||[[attachment:vppa3_06.ppd]] || After that, install the printer by following the instructions below: ||'''No.''' ||'''Step''' ||'''Picture''' || ||1 ||Open "Print & Fax" Preference Pane. || {{attachment:sl_shot01.png}} || ||2 ||Press the small '+'-Button in lower left area of the preference pane. || {{attachment:sl_shot02.png}} || ||3 ||Press ''IP'' at the top of the new window. || {{attachment:sl_shot03.png}} || ||4 ||Change the ''Protocol'' dropdown to ''Line Printer Daemon - LPD''. || {{attachment:LPD.png}} || ||5 ||Set ''Address'' to '''vpp-"destination".ethz.ch'''. As example etlf27-1 as destination. The name of the Queue '''always begins with the destination Name "''destination/'''''", the second part is constructed from '''the printer's model name and vppdriver and name separated by a dash''', all '''lowercase'''. Valid locations and printer names can be looked up here: [[http://www.vppspy.ethz.ch/tools/vpplist.php|VPP Destination List]]. You can choose ''Name'' and ''Location'' freely, but it's a real good idea to enter something meaningful, so you recognize the Printer later on. || {{attachment:VPPDriver.png}} || ||6 ||Choose ''Other...'' for the dropdown under ''Print Using''. || {{attachment:sl_shot06.png}} || ||7 ||In the File Dialog, choose the PPD you downloaded earlier. ||''(none)'' || ||8 ||If you've done everything correctly, the new printer is now listed in the preference pane. Make sure to leave "Share this printer on the network" unchecked. || {{attachment:sl_shot07.png}} || == Printing problems == Alternatively you can print through the VPP Form: [[http://idvpp01.ethz.ch/vpppdf.html|Send PDF VPP Job]] [[http://idvpp01.ethz.ch/vpp.html|Send VPP Job]] ---- [[CategoryPRMT]] |
