| Obtain the printer name(s) you need from Chris Freemesser before proceeding. | There are a few bits of information you need to collect first: * If you are running Windows, are you running the 32-bit or 64-bit version? * Is one of the printers a Xerox color printer? * The name of the printer...it should be on a sticker on the front of the printer. If not, ask Chris. === Step 1: Obtain the printer driver === If you are running Windows, the chances are that Windows does NOT have the necessary driver for your printer built-in. You can download printer drivers for most of our printers here: http://www.cvs.rochester.edu/cvspriv/downloads Please note that there are separate drivers for both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows. Download the correct driver for your copy of Windows. Run the driver installer. Normally, the Windows "Add Printer" wizard will open automatically afterwards. If you are on a Mac, and your computer was configured by me (Chris), then the necessary HP/Xerox drivers should already be installed. If they are not, go to Apple's support website (http://www.apple.com/support) and do a search for the brand name of the printer(s) you want to add (such as "Xerox printer drivers"). Download and install the correct driver package for your computer.

Configuring BCS/CVS printers
Printer connectivity here is done via IP address, not proprietary printing systems like Apple’s Rendezvous/Bonjour or Microsoft printer sharing. Every printer has an IP address and name, like cvsprinter.cvs.rochester.edu. Printers are accessible from computers on-campus only.
There are a few bits of information you need to collect first:
* If you are running Windows, are you running the 32-bit or 64-bit version? * Is one of the printers a Xerox color printer? * The name of the printer...it should be on a sticker on the front of the printer. If not, ask Chris.
Step 1: Obtain the printer driver
If you are running Windows, the chances are that Windows does NOT have the necessary driver for your printer built-in. You can download printer drivers for most of our printers here:
http://www.cvs.rochester.edu/cvspriv/downloads
Please note that there are separate drivers for both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows. Download the correct driver for your copy of Windows.
Run the driver installer. Normally, the Windows "Add Printer" wizard will open automatically afterwards.
If you are on a Mac, and your computer was configured by me (Chris), then the necessary HP/Xerox drivers should already be installed. If they are not, go to Apple's support website (http://www.apple.com/support) and do a search for the brand name of the printer(s) you want to add (such as "Xerox printer drivers"). Download and install the correct driver package for your computer. There are also some Mac printer drivers located at the "cvspriv" download area mentioned above.
Step 2: Xerox color printers
If you are running Windows, and you are trying to add a Xerox color laser printer to your computer, you need to make sure that LPD printing is enabled on your computer..it's disabled by default. The instructions for enabling it are here: EnableLpdPrinting
Step 3: Adding the printer
Assuming you have obtained the name(s) of the printer(s) you wish to add, here's how you add them:

2. 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".
