Printing on macOS
SCS Computing Facilities (SCSCF) provides support for public and private in-office printing solutions for our three supported desktop computing platforms (Windows, macOS and Linux).
There are two methods of configuring public printers on macOS:
- JAMF: SCSCF-supported Macs that are registered for software support can use our 'Self Service Software' platform to install available printers automatically.
- Manual Configuration: For unsupported Macs, we provide manual configuration instructions. This method requires that necessary drivers be installed. You can download the drivers from the Konica-Minolta website if using this method.
Add an SCS printer using Self Service Software (JAMF)
Supported SCSCF Macs feature 'Self Service Software', an application which allows convenient automatic configuration of SCS printers.
-
Locate and open 'Self Service Software' (search via Spotlight or Applications in Finder)
-
From 'Self Service Software' window, select "SCS Printers" from left-hand menu.
Click on the search field and enter 'SCS-Public'.Public Printing: Install SCS-Public policy
Private Printing: Install the policy name for your private printer
-
Click 'Install' under SCS-Public.
Please note: for public printing you want SCS-Public. For private printers select the policy matching your private printer name. If you do not know the name of your private printer, submit a ticket and we would be happy to assist you.
-
Type in your Andrew ID when prompted. When the install is finished it will briefly say 'Done' then 'Reinstall'.
You have installed the printer successfully.
Add an SCS printer manually (unsupported Macs)
If your Mac is not enrolled under SCSCF Software support, or is not enrolled in the JAMF Software Server you may add printers by following the steps below. If adding a private printer, you must know the name of the printer. Please submit a ticket, if you do not know the private printer name.
Download Konica Drivers (for non-JAMF manual configuration only)
