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:

Download the printer driver for your copier here.
Click Download, then Download anyway.
Open the downloaded file and run the installer.
Open System Settings (from your app dock), then scroll to the bottom to click Printers & Scanners.
Click the Add Printer button.
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 match the location of the printer you are installing (ie: Downton, HQ, The Hub, etc)
The "Use" field should auto-select the driver you downloaded and installed earlier.
If not, click the dropdown, then Select Software and find the driver for your copier model, then click OK.
Click Add, then OK.
You did it! Now you can print all the things.

If your laptop has been updated to macOS Tahoe 26 you may have a few additional steps:
1. Open System Settings (from your app dock), then scroll to the bottom to click Select PDL.
2. Click on the printer you just installed
3. Click the dropdown menu to the right of "Page Description Languages" and change it from KPDL to PCL
4. Click Apply
