NOTE: Please be sure that you are using the “BML” wireless network, the "BML Guest" wireless network is internet only, and doesn’t allow access to printers and file servers.

These instructions are for a Mac running OSX (various), some screens may look slightly different on your mac but the fundamental concepts are consistent across OSX.

1. From the Apple Menu, choose System Preferences -> Printers & Scanners

2. Underneath the list of available printers, click on the + sign to add a printer.

3. On the top menu bar of this next window, make sure that "IP" is selected. On the "Address" line type in the IP address of the printer you wish to add:
