How to Connect University Mac Computers to Campus Printers

Depending on the use of our printers, some of them are not available on WebPrint. For this reason, we allow faculty and staff to install individual printers onto University owned computers. The staff and faculty members will need to use their Westminster credentials and be on the University's network (either via Westminster WiFi or a wired connection) in order to access this resource. The article below describes how to connect to a campus printer.  

1. All campus owned Mac’s should have an application called Self Service installed on them, not to be confused with the website also called Self-Service. You can access this by using the spotlight search icon at the top right corner of your Mac, or you can open Finder > Applications and scroll down to Self Service. 
   
   
   
   
2. Within Self Service, there is a tab on the left called “Printers”.
   
   
   
   
3. In this section, there is a printer package for the printers in every building. To add those printers, click the button that either says “Add Printers” or the name of the printer package, like “Bassis Ricoh”.
   
   
4. After adding the printers and sending a print job for the first time to that printer, you may need to enter your password. It might prompt you automatically with a popup that looks like this:
   
   
   
   
5. Enter you Westminster username and password, then check the box that says “Remember this password in my keychain” so that you do not have to do this every time you print.
   
   
6. If this login page does not popup automatically and your job is not going through, you may need to open up the printer queue (there should be a printer icon that popped up in your dock when you clicked print) and click the refresh arrow. This should then prompt you for your login info.
