Macintosh Printer Installation

Mac OS X 10.6.8 and older

Users with 10.6.8 and below must use the Web Print system.

Mac OS X 10.7.5 and later

Click the following link to download the �鶹��Ƶ printer installer.

Once the file is downloaded, double click on it. Then locate the file on your desktop and double-click on it.

Then double click on the GACPrinters application to open the installer.

Once the GACPrinters application is opened you will be presented with a window that looks like the image below. The area circled in red is the printer type navigation tab.

To install a printer simply click on the printer you'd like to install. If the printer is installed correctly the button should "ghost" out. The image below shows NoreliusLabPrinter successfully installed and "ghosted" out.

If you get an error, it's most likely because you don't have the latest printer drivers. The error window looks like the image below. If you receive this error you will be asked to be taken to either Apple's or HP's print driver page. From the driver page download and install the driver, then try re-open GACPrinters and try installing the printer again.

Checking printers and setting the default

Now you can verify that your printers installed and set a default. From the Apple menu, select System Preferences and then click on the Printers and Scanners button. The following window will appear.

If you want to set a default printer, simply click by Default Printer and select the printer you want to use. Once you've done this, you can close out the window and start printing.

Please see Using the print accounting system for students to print and release jobs.

Troubleshooting Apple Macintosh Printer Installation

Problem: I can't get the installer downloaded. Instead a web page of garbled text is displayed.

Solution: Right-click the download link and choose Save File As or Save Linked File As depending on your browser. Save the downloaded file someplace accessible on your computer like the Desktop and proceed with the instructions. This may mean your browser is not properly installed. This is most common with Mozilla Firefox. For more information about installing Mac OS X software refer to

Problem: The installer unexpectedly quits each time I try and run it. I am running Macintosh OS 10.6.x.

Solution: You will have to use the �鶹��Ƶ Web Print system.

Problem: I receive an error message: "Your system software should be updated ...

Solution: For a version prior to 10.7.5 you will need to contact the Technology Helpline at x6111 for alternative printing methods.

Problem: The printer I want to install is "ghosted" out.

Solution: Quit GACPrinters and relaunch GACPrinters.

Problem: "GACPrinters" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.

This error indicates you have OSX 10.8 and your security settings need to be temporarily modified. Please go to System Preferences, Security and Privacy, General tab. Allow software to be installed from anywhere. After installing the printer, please move back to Mac App Store and identified developers.
