This page describes the installation of a printer on Mac OS X 10.5 or higher.  Installation on Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) differs and is described separately.
 
__TOC__
==Before you start==
During the installation process, you will need to enter the correct '''print server'''. The server depends on printer make. Below you will find the correct server for each printer make:
{{printservers}}
 
you will also need the printer's '''UU serial number'''.  You can find this on the label attached to each printer.  If this label is missing, please contact {{topdesk|lan=en}}.
 
Finally, you will need the correct '''printer drivers'''.  If these are not available on your system, you will need to download them from the printer manufacturer web site.
 
==Mac OS X 10.5 or higher==
