- Download and install the Ricoh Aficio C4501 driver.
Note: you will need to have at least MacOS 10.6.
- Open a terminal window and type the following commands
- lpadmin -E -p 5 -v ipp://printserver2.math.wisc.edu:631/printers/5 -P "/Library/Printers/PPDS/Contents/Resources/RICOH Aficio MP C4501"
- cupsenable 5
- cupsaccept 5
Hints
NOTE: if have a personal Macintosh and your local username is different from your username in the Math Department, you can print using a command like this:
lp -d P -U <yourusername> file.pdf (where P is the name of the printer (e.g. 5) and <yourusername> is your username. NOTE that you can only print postscript or PDF files)
