Windows: Shared printers on Windows devices

• Press the Windows key + R to bring up the Run command interface.
  • Alternatively, you can right-click the Windows Menu and select Run.
• Type \\printsrv2 in the text bar and press OK.
  

• The printsrv2 window will pop up displaying all District Office printers.
  

• Locate the printer you are looking for and double-click it to install.
  • Sometimes you will be prompted to install the driver – be sure to select Install to continue.
• This will install the required printer driver on your computer. Close the window when it finishes.
• Click on the Windows Start button, and start typing Printers to search for Printers & Scanners.
• Verify the printer was installed.
• Close the window.
• When opening a browser or application, be sure to change to the printer you want to use.
  • Example: In Google Chrome, new printers may not be listed in the initial drop-down. You may have to select See more to get a full list of installed printers.

Apple: Shared printers on Apple OS X devices

• Go to the Apple icon in the top left corner.
  • Select System Preferences.
• Click on Printers & Scanners.
• Click the + button and select the IP tab.
• In the Address field, type:
  • printsrv2.maricopa.edu
• Make sure the Protocol is set to Line Printer Daemon – LPD.
• In the Queue field, type the name of the printer (e.g., printer0001).
  • Change the name in the Name field to reflect the printer name (e.g., printer0001).
  • Leave the Location field blank.
• In the Use drop-down, select Select Software and find the printer model.
  • If the printer model doesn’t populate, you may need to go to the manufacturer’s website and download the driver.
  • If the manufacturer’s website does not have Apple drivers, try using Generic PostScript (typically for color printers) or Generic PCL (typically for B/W printers), which are built into macOS.
