3.5.2 Installation on a Mac

Printing via the shared network printer will be slower than when the printer is connected directly to

the USB port on the computer. After you press the Print button, please wait for the printer to

receive the data.

1. Go to System Preferences and click

Print & Fax.

2. Click on the plus symbol to add a new printer.

3. Select the IP tab. For the Protocol, select

HP Jetdirect – Socket and for the Address enter

the

IP address of your network drive. The Name and Location are used to easily identify

the printer and do not have to be the same as the ones used in this example. For the last

step, select the corresponding printer driver and click

Add.

4. Done! Your printer has been set up and is now ready.

Note

Not all USB printers are supported, e.g. multi function all-in-one printers and GDI/host-based

printers, therefore, your printer may not be compatible and printing might fail.
