Sometimes it is necessary to add a printer to you mac when you dont see it in the AppleTalk list, or the Default (Bonjour List) The following are instructions on how to add a printer by calling up its network IP address. 10.5 leopard and 10.6 Snow Leopard both come with extensive drivers, so downloading software for most our district printers is rarely necessary.
1.) Open System Preferences, and click on Print and Fax
2.) Click on the plus sign at the buttom of your list of printers. The following window will appear.
3.) On the top of this window, Click on the globe icon with IP under it.
4.) in the IP address window, type in the IP address of the printer in which you are wanting to connect to. If you dont know, refer to the list of printers we have at http://10.93.10.10/pages/technology.html
The computer will automatically find the driver associated with the type of printer you entered.
5.) Once the Add button lights up, Click it, and you will then see the printer in your list! All done!

The office color printer does not print photos from my laptop. Why? I think text print comes out instead.
