How do I add a printer on my personally owned Mac? (faculty/staff)
Modified on: Wed, Sep 25 2024 2:39 PMEWU now has a way to self-install any networked printer on a personally owned Mac. We make this option available to faculty or staff whose department has not issued them a EWU managed computer.
Please be aware that this process will install all ~300 network printers on campus. You are not given an option to only install the one or two printers you may need to utilize.
To get started:
- Connect to the EWU Network. You can either connect via an ethernet connection or wireless connection through EWUsecure or Eduroam.
- In a supported browser, visit http://m.printing.ewu.edu:9163/client-setup/known-host/macos.html
- Click on the Download Button to begin the download.
- A download will automatically begin. Double click on the downloaded file to begin the installation.
- A new window will open with the downloaded Package. Double-click on PaperCut Mobility Print Client.pkg to proceed.
- The installer will launch. Continue through the prompts to install the software.
- The installation process can take several minutes. It will conclude with this message.
- Open your system preferences / settings. The icon looks like this.
- Click on Printers & Scanners.
- A list of all available Network Printers on the EWU Campus will now be available. Scroll through to find your desired printer.
- As an added step, if you wish to list one of these printers as your default printer, two-finger click on the printer and select Set default printer.
- When you try to print, you will be asked to authenticate with your EWU username and password. Use your full email address and regular password.
