Installing a Windows-Shared Printer in Macintosh OS X

This is a generic set of instructions on installing a printer that is configured on our print server for your use on your Apple Mac OS-based computer.

Please note: For this to work, your Macintosh must be joined to the CEDARCREST domain and you must be logged in with a FalconNet username and password to the computer.  If you are not, you will not be able to print via this method.

  • Click System Preferences
  • Click Printers & Scanners
  • Below the list of printers you already have installed, click the + sign.
  • This will bring the "Add" dialog up and you will be on the "Default" button.  Click the "Windows" button.
  • Next, click CEDARCREST
  • Then, click CCC-PAPERCUT2
  • You should see a number of print queues in the list, select the printer you would like to connect to and click OK.
  • It will prompt you for your user name and password.  Input your FalconNet user id and password in this format: cedarcrest\username (example: cedarcrest\jrsmith) and then click OK.
  • Follow the prompts to complete the installation
