  • How do I setup additional IGPP printers on my machine? 


NOTE: In order to print to a IGPP printer, you need to be on UCSD Network or connected to Virtual Private Network (VPN).


  1. Open System Preferences > Printers & Scanners.


  2. In the Printers pane, click on the + icon, then select Add Printer or Scanner.


  3. Choose IP Printer from the top of the window.


  4. In the Address and Queue field, enter the printer's address (printername.ucsd.edu).
  5. Make sure the correct printer model is selected from the Use: pull-down menu. If you do not know the model of the printer, you can look it up at https://igppdb.ucsd.edu/printers. 
    If printer model is incorrect, change it by selecting from the pull-down menu, Use:  -> Select Printer Software. If the printer model cannot be found, you may need to download the driver from the manufacturer's website (links are provided conveniently for you on https://igppdb.ucsd.edu/printers .)
  6. Click Add Add to finish the printer setup.


NOTES:

  1. Check https://igppdb.ucsd.edu/printers to see a printer's capabilities and additional settings (ie. duplex, Number of trays) and download the linked drivers.
  2. On your top toolbar, click  > Software Updates to update any printer drivers.
