Pharos Printing from Personal Macintosh Computers

For Panther (10.3.x) you must first have a user account setup on your computer with a 'short name' that matches your POD ID. For advanced users, you can change your short name using Change Short Name. For complete instructions see:

Tiger (10.4.x) http://bingweb.binghamton.edu/~ctarbox/TigerPodPrint/TigerPharosSetup.htm Leopard (10.5.x) http://bingweb.binghamton.edu/~ctarbox/LeopardPodPrint/LeopardPharosSetup.htm Snow Leopard (10.6.x) http://bingweb.binghamton.edu/~ctarbox/SnowLeopardPodPrint/SnowLeopPharosSetup.htm

Quick Steps for Panther (10.3.x):
 * 1) Open the Printer Setup Utility
 * 2) Click Add
 * 3) Specify that you want to add an IP Printer.
 * 4) Set Protocol to Line Printer Daemon - LPD
 * 5) Set Address to podprint.cc.binghamton.edu
 * 6) Set Queue to BUDormPrint
 * 7)  If you like, set Name & Location to something meaningful to you (ex. BU Public Printing or some such thing.)
 * 8) For best results, tell your Mac you'll be printing on a Lexmark T632 (the driver was installed by default.)
 * 9) Click Add

Now, you'll have a new "printer" available to you in print dialogs, with the Name you specified in step 7 or podprint.cc.binghamton.edu if you didn't specify one.

While you're at it, create a "Desktop Printer":


 * 1) Select a printer in the Printer Setup Utility
 * 2) Choose Create Desktop Printer... from the Printers menu.

Then, you can print PDF's and graphics and such simply by dragging and dropping them onto the icon on your Desktop. (Double-click the icon to check the status of the print queue.)
