Setup Printing

To install a printer, please follow the instructions below:

Step One:  Go to your System Preferences then click on Print & Fax. 

Step Two:  Click on the (+) icon. 

Note:  if the lock in the bottom-left of the screen is locked, click it and type in the computer’s credentials (i.e. Username: Admin, Password: your computer’s admin password).  Your UNB ID and password will not work.

You will need to wait a few seconds and all printers on campus will be auto-populated.  Scroll through the list of printers until you locate the name of the printer you want to setup.  Note: make sure ‘Default’ is selected.

There will be two types of printers listed broken down by campus (FR/SJ):

•    Manx are charged printers (such as student printers)

•    Wisp are non-charged printers (such as departmental printers)

Step Three:  Depending on the printer selected, it should automatically populate the ‘Print Using’ field.

If it doesn't’t, select ‘Select a driver to use’ from the ‘Print Using’ dropdown menu.  You then need to select the type of printer you will be using.  You can type the make of the printer into the filter field. (i.e. Lexmark).  Then look for the model number. (i.e. Lexmark 2400 Series).

Note:  if you cannot locate your model number, select one that is close.

Step Four:  Click Add.  You have successfully added your printer.
