| For Windows, the instructions on the wiki page above should be followed pretty much verbatim. You will need to ensure you have LPD/LPR printer support installed, you will need to download the correct driver from the 'Phaser6500' directory listed above, and you will need to follow the generic instructions for adding the printer. | Assuming you have obtained the name(s) of the printer(s) you wish to add, here's how you add them: |

| If anybody runs into any problems, please let me know (I've tested the instructions using OSX 10.8 and Windows XP, and everything worked fine). Also please note that these printers are designed for occasional printing, not for printing hundreds of copies of something. | ==== Mac OSX ==== 1. Select 'System Preferences' from the Apple menu at the top left corner of the desktop. 2. Click on the 'Print & Fax' preference pane. Once open, click on the'+' button in the bottom left corner of the preference pane. Select the 'IP' icon in the resulting window. Printing protocol should be "LPD". 3. Enter the name of the printer, which will be something like 'cvsprintername.cvs.rochester.edu' or 'bcsprintername.bcs.rochester.edu'. Do not be stunned if you are running OSX 10.7 or 10.8 and the Mac considers the address invalid...it actually is. Don't ask me why it does this. 4. If OSX doesn't automatically detect what kind of printer it is, click on the 'Print Using' pull-down menu and select 'Select a driver to use'. Find your printer in the list, and select it. 5. Click the "Add" button to add the printer. That's it! === Windows XP === 1. Click on Start -> Settings -> Printers. Select the "Add Printer" option. 2. Select the option "Local printer attached to this computer", but UNcheck "Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer". Click "Next". 3. Click on "Create a new port" and specify the type of port as "Standard TCP/IP Port" for a black and white printer, or "LPR Port" for a Xerox color printer. Click "Next", then "Next" again in the resulting window. 4. On the "Add Port" page, enter the address of the printer in both fields. Click "Next". 5. Click "Finish" in the next window. 6. In the next window, select the manufacturer of your printer from the left column, then the model from the right column, and click "Next". If the printer model doesn't appear, but you have downloaded and "installed" the correct driver, then click on "Have Disk". Navigate to the directory where the driver was installed (if you are not placed there automatically), and select the file you find inside. 7. For the Printer name, enter something descriptive. Click "Next". 8. In the next window, click on "Do not share this printer". Click "Next". 9. In the next window, do not printer a test page. Click "Next". 10. In the next (and last) window, click on "Finish". The computer will do what it needs to do, and the printer will be ready to go once the computer is done. === Windows 7 === 1. Click on Start -> Devices and Printers. Select the "Add a Printer" option. 2. Select the option "Add a local printer". 3. Click on "Create a new port" and specify the type of port as "Standard TCP/IP Port" for a black and white printer, or "LPR Port" for a color printer. Click "Next". 4. On the "Add Printer" page, enter the address of the printer in both fields. Click "Next". 5. In the next window, select the manufacturer of your printer from the left column, then the model from the right column, and click "Next".
