Printing on macOS
SCS Computing Facilities (SCSCF) provides support for public printing for our three supported desktop computing platforms (Windows, macOS and Linux).
There are two methods of configuring public printers on macOS:
- JAMF: SCSCF-supported Macs that are registered for software support can use our 'Self Service Software' platform to install available printers automatically.
- Manual Configuration: For unsupported Macs, we provide manual configuration instructions. This method requires that necessary drivers be installed. You can download the drivers from the Konica-Minolta website if using this method.
Add an SCS printer using Self Service Software (JAMF)
Supported SCSCF Macs feature 'Self Service Software', an application which allows convenient automatic configuration of SCS printers.
-
Locate and open 'Self Service Software' (search via Spotlight or Apps on the Dock)
-
From 'Self Service Software' window
Public Printing: Click DSP-DepartmentalPrinting policy
Private Printing: Click on the search field and enter the name of the printer then click Install beside the printer you want.
-
Click 'Install' under DSP-DepartmentalPrinting. When the install is finished it will briefly say 'Done' then 'Reinstall'.
You have installed the printer successfully.
Please note: for public printing you want DSP-DepartmentalPrinting.
For private printers select the policy matching your private printer name. If you do not know the name of your private printer, submit a ticket and we would be happy to assist you.
-
When you goto print for the first time you'll see an authentication prompt that requires your Andrew ID and password.
Add an SCS printer manually (unsupported Macs)
If your Mac is not enrolled under SCSCF Software support, or is not enrolled in the JAMF Software Server you may add printers by following the steps below. If adding a private printer, you must know the name of the printer. Please submit a ticket, if you do not know the private printer name.
Download Konica Drivers (for non-JAMF manual configuration only)
