Connecting to the lab printer only works from Mac OS X.2 or higher. These instructions are specific to Mac OS X.4.
NOTE: Separate instructions are provided elsewhere for Mac OS X.2 & X.3 and Windows XP.
- Go to your Applications window
- Double-click on the Utilities folder
- Double-click on Printer Setup Utility
- Click once on Add. Your computer will
pause while it builds a list of printer options.
- While holding down the OPTION key, click the More Printers... button.
NOTE: If you do not hold down the OPTION key while clicking More Printers..., you will not have the Advanced options available, which you need to be able to follow the rest of the directions!

Set Printer model to HP, and then for the COMPUTER LAB select HP Laserjet 5M from the printer list -- others see the specific notes below.
NOTE: The :631 is very important in the Device URL -- make sure you have the url exactly as above (or below in the image).
NOTE: LAIP should use the url http://printq.law.wisc.edu:631/printers/law_laip and use the 5M driver as pictured below
NOTE: EJI should use the url http://printq.law.wisc.edu:631/printers/law_2221 further a HP LaserJet 4 series driver should be used (most likely "HP LaserJet 4 series - Gimp-Print v5.0.0-beta2") NOT the 5M driver.
