= Setting up the VPP printers for a Macintosh client =
<<TableOfContents(2)>>

Please use following instruction to setup a printer on a unmanaged Mac Client

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}} ||
