Install the Net-Print Software
-
Download the Net-Print for Mac installer.
You may be asked to enter your NetID and associated password at this point. - If the file does not unpack automatically, find the package (called Net-PrintPC_OSX_6.6.dmg, usually in your Downloads folder) and double-click it.
- Open the Net-PrintPC_OSX_6.6 icon that appears on your desktop and double-click . The install wizard will start.
-
Click through the wizard, accepting all default values.
When asked for your Username and Password, this is the account on your Mac, not your NetID.
When the installer finishes, a text file will open. It contains a short version of the information in our Add a Mac Print Queue article.
