1. Identify the printer
2. Download the appropriate driver
   1. Download Toshiba Drivers for MacOS (Color printer)
   2. Download Toshiba Drivers for MacOS (Black and White printer or Library "big" Printers)
   3. Download Lexmark Drivers
      • M3150 (Most small Lexmark printers in the dorms or elsewhere are this model)

8. For Address, enter printername.admin.arbor.edu (for example dtzlow1.admin.arbor.edu or libup1.admin.arbor.edu)
   1. If that address doesn't work use the printers IP address. Open terminal application (this can be found in the utilities folder under applications or by searching for terminal in the search bar)  type "ping printername.admin.arbor.edu".  This will return a readout of data.  The ip address will be something like 172.12.34.123  Put this number in the ip address bar.
