Step-by-Step

Setting up a new printer is a three-step process: download the driver, install it, then configure the printer.
 

Download the Driver

Go to  http://onyxweb.mykonicaminolta.com/OneStopProductSupport/
 

Select the model number of your copier (i.e. Bizhub c458). Note: Searching without the letter-suffix on the model will sometimes yield better results (e.g., searching for "458U" will not find a driver but "458" will).
 

  1. Choose drivers from the list
  2. Choose your operating system
  3. If there is a choice, be sure to download drivers for "A4"

Install the Driver

  1. Double click the downloaded file. It will unzip to your downloads folder.
  2. Double click the .pkg installer and accept the defaults. 
  3. Enter your computer’s password when prompted.

Configure the Printer
 

When the driver is installed, you will need to install and configure the printer.
 

  1. Click the Apple menu then System preferences then Printers & Scanners or Printers & Faxes
  2. Unlock the screen, if required by clicking the lock in the lower left and entering the computer’s password
  3. To add the new printer, click the + sign
  4. Choose the IP tab:
    • o    
      • In the Address field, type the printer’s full name (i.e. departmentname.dartmouth.edu). Leave everything else blank.
      • In the Protocol field choose Line Printer Daemon - LPD
      • In the Queue field type print
      • The drivers may or may not fill in. If they don’t, click the box next to Use and choose Select Software.
      • Scroll to find your printer model, highlight it and click OK. It will fill in the driver name.
      • Next to Use, click Add.
  5. If you know what they are, choose the printer’s install-able options. Then click OK to complete setup.
