print directly to the printer and know the IP address of the printer,
enter the IP into the Address: box and leave the Queue box empty. Or, if
you know the printer queue name (e.g., utsp005) and want to print
through the print server, you can enter “print.oakland.edu” (without
quotes) into the Address: box and enter the printer queue name into the
Queue: box.

overwrite them)

choose Print Using: Generic PostScript Printer option.

If your computer cannot determine the options that are installed on
your printer, a dialog appears that let you choose those options. Make
sure the settings in that dialog accurately reflect your printer’s
installed options so you can take full advantage of them. Then click

highlight the printer in the printer list and click Make Default button
