Printing to Pharos from Your Mac OS X Laptop

In order to print directly from your laptop to the main lab printers, you must have installed the LaserJet 8150 printer driver on your computer. The following procedure provides the method to configure your computer and install the driver. After you have finished, you can print from any campus Resnet jack or Nomad Wireless connection. Printing in the Law School is limited to currently enrolled Law students. Non-Law students will be charged.

Mistakes made during this process can make your system unusable. Please follow these instructions meticulously.

If you have any questions or need assistance with this process, please see Student Computing Consultant in Room 205-G (office next to the print stations).
