Connecting to a Printer
The drivers for most printers are built into Mac OS X. To use a printer with your
Mac mini, follow the instructions that came with the printer to install any required
software and connect the printer to your computer.
After connecting your printer, use the Print & Fax pane of System Preferences to select
your printer for use.
Note: If you have an AirPort Extreme Card installed in your Mac mini and you have an
AirPort Extreme Base Station or AirPort Express, you can connect a USB printer to the
base station (instead of connecting it to your computer) and print wirelessly.
To set up a printer:
1
Open System Preferences and click the Print & Fax icon.
2
Click the Set Up Printers button.
