Printing from Mac OS X

This page contains instructions for printing from Mac OS X. Printing from a Macintosh is the same whether you are using a desktop machine on our Public subnet or a laptop on our Protected subnet. If your laptop is on RedRover, see the CLASSE VPN section below. If you are certain you have up-to-date PPDs, skip ahead to Adding your printer
