Printing under MacOS X
All central printers in the data center, as well as other printers in the work areas, are managed via the linuxprint server using the CUPS printing software.
If you are using an Apple Mac computer in the data center pool, it is already configured for use with the linuxprint print server. You do not need to configure printers individually.
Please also pay attention to the notes regarding the printing cost contribution for students.
