Adding a printer - macOS 10.8 Mountain Lion
This manual is for older systems and/or software and is no longer maintained.
This manual is meant for 1A-server users. It explains how a printer can be added in Windows XP. You can only print a document if a printer has been added to your computer. In order to use the printer your computer must be added to the list of printer users in the 1A-manager, your network administrator can do this for you.
The 1A-server can help you to manage your printers. By connecting the printer to the 1A-server several computers can use the printer. The 1A-manager will allow precise control of which users are allowed to use a printer.
This manual explains how to add a network printer to your computer. The manual will then show you how to check whether you have succeeded. Then you should be able to print in the added printer.
