FAQ > MAC OS X > How can I add a printer to my Mac?
Search the FAQ for entries containing:
- Go to print any document and choose Add Printer from the Printer drop down box.
- A Printer Browser will open, which will (hopefully) find all printers on your network (if they are recent enough). Select your printer. If you don’t see your printer, you should look in the other printer categories like Epson AppleTalk or Windows. In OS X 10.4 Tiger select the More Printers button to see these categories. In OS X 10.5 Leopard, you can browse these categories by clicking the Windows andAppleTalk icons along the top of the window.
- Rename the printer and printer location (if desired) in the field below the browser.
- Verify that Print Using has selected the correct driver. (If it hasn’t found one, you need to install that printer’s drivers from the manufacturer’s website and start over. If you can’t install the correct drivers, you can try a generic driver, if available in the Print Using drop down menu.)
