Philyra

This is the Phaser 5500DN located just outside of Jason and Krem's offices.

OS X

You do not need to install any special software to access this printer from OS X. Your system should be on OS X version 10.4.8 or later.

Start the Printer Setup Utility. This is located under Utilities, in your Applications folder.

Click Add.

A printer browsing window will open up. Ignore the list of printers it displays; instead, select the IP Printer button in at the top of the window. Then, set up the window according to the following table. Note that the first three entries are most critical, and must be set exactly as you see here. (I know it recommends that you leave the queue name blank; ignore it, they don't know what they're talking about, that statement is true maybe 5% of the time.)

Once you've set it up according to that table, hit the Add button.

On the next page, you'll be prompted to set up various Installable Options. Again, follow the table below.

Hit the Continue button at the bottom of that window, and you'll be all set.

If you have other printers configured on your machine, remember to check your default printer setting. Apple's Printer Setup Utility will often change your default printer to whatever you've just added, and without warning you.

Windows XP

Point your web browser to http://philyra.cis.rit.edu/

Click Support.

Click Printer Drivers on the right side of your screen.

Click Software Installation on the left side of your screen.

In the new window that appears, click Windows Driver Installer.

It will present you with a downloand that will install all necessary settings for this printer. Under Options, ensure that this is your default printer. When asked about registering, always decline or mark "later".
