Connecting to Library printers using Mac OSX 10.2 or higher

This guide outlines the correct step-by-step procedures to follow when connecting to a printer within the University of Wollongong Library. Although tested using OSX 10.2, this guide should provide enough information for other Macintosh operating systems to successfully connect to the printers within the Library.

  1. Open Finder
  2. Browse to Applications/Utilities
  3. Open Print Centre
  4. Click Add
  5. Select IP Printing in the drop-down menu
  6. Under Printer’s Address, type: 130.130.51.5
  7. Deselect Use default queue on server
  8. Under Queue Name, type one of the following queue names:
    Second Floor Printer
    First Floor Printer
    Media Room Printer
  9. Under Printer Model, select Generic
  10. Click Add
  11. If you receive the warning: 'Some LPR print servers will not work with a space in the queue name', click Continue.
  12. The printer will now appear in the printer list, and you will be able to select this printer in your applications.

Follow Me Printing

Everyone hates to queue. With this in mind, we have introduced Follow Me Printing. You can choose any free printer/copier in the Library or a printer in the Student Central labs to release your print job.

How does it work?
