To print from personally owned computers, you must be first connected to the VPN and run the lab drives script.

This process is the same for a personal Mac or a lab/group owned Mac. Once you have connected with the VPN and Lab Drives script, follow the steps below
- From the Apple Menu select System Preferences..., then choose Printers & Scanners.
- Click the lock symbol and unlock to make changes - login with administrator credentials.
- Click the + symbol.
- A window will pop up, right click (Ctrl-Click) at the top area of the toolbar and click on Customize Toolbar..., click on Advanced and drag the gear symbol into the toolbar.
- Click on the newly added Advanced icon and enter (the URL needs to match the name of the printer exactly):
- NOTE: Do not forget to add the first portion of the printer address - "smph-prn01.ad.wisc.edu".
- Ex. smph-prn01.ad.wisc.edu/(Your printer name)
The driver can stay at the Generic PostScript Printer or if you see the specific driver for the printer, you can use that.
- Click Add, select configuration specifics if there are any specifics (duplex printing, multiple trays, etc.) and click OK.
- The printer should be in the list and can be chosen to print.
On a personal computer, the drive mapping script MUST be run first.
