Add Printers using Staff Dashboard
The quickest way to add Printers is to use Staff Dashboard*. Here's how:
- Open Finder, then go to Applications.
- Open Staff Dashboard.
- Find the printer you need and click Install.
- That's it!
You can verify that it worked by opening System Preferences, then Printers & Scanners. You should see your newly-installed Printer listed on the left side of the window.
*Staff Dashboard is available only if your computer is enrolled in Jamf. To enroll your computer in Jamf, click here.
Add Printers Manually
If you don't have Staff Dashboard on your computer, or if you're just flat-out opposed to doing things quickly and efficiently, here's how you can add Printers manually:
- Start by downloading the required printer drivers here.
- Click Download, then Download anyway.
-
Open the downloaded file and run the installer.
- Open System Preferences, then Printers & Scanners.
- Click the + in the bottom-left corner of the window.
- Click the IP Globe icon at the top middle of the window.
- Fill out the information in this window using the name and IP address of the printer you need.
(Printer names and IP addresses are listed at the end of this article)
- If it doesn't populate automatically then change the Protocol field from iPP to LPD.
- Change the Name field to the location of the printer you are installing (ie: Downton, HQ, The Hub, etc)
- The Use field should automatically populate the Kyocera TASKalfa 6054ci KPDL driver.
If not, click the dropdown, then Select Software, and select Kyocera TASKalfa 6054ci KPDL, and click OK.
- Click Add, then OK.
-
Repeat Steps 4-9 for any other Printers you need.
