4. A new window should open up showing you a list of all the available printers. There are only four (4) printers that you can authenticate against with your access.caltech credentials. All other printers will fail. The following four (4) printers are available to you no matter which library branch you are printing to:

If you need more in-depth assistance on locating proper drivers or connecting to the printer, please contact helpdesk@library.caltech.edu or call x6775.

1. Identify the make and model of the printer you wish to connect to. In this case we will be attempting to connect to a Xerox C8035 printer. This information is important because you might need to install drivers onto your Apple computer.
2. The Caltech Library does not host drivers for download. You will need to go to the appropriate vendor website and acquire the proper drivers based on make/model and operating system. In this example you will need drivers for either the Xerox C8035 or the Xerox C8055.
3. Go to: https://www.support.xerox.com/support/altalink-c8000-series/downloads/enus.html?associatedProduct=C8000-series-built-in-controller&operatingSystem=macosx10_14&fileLanguage=en
4. Under Drivers & Downloads select Built-in Controller for the Associated Product, macOS 10.15 – Catalina for the Operating System, and English (N. America) for the Language. Click the macOS Common Print Driver Installer to download the driver package.
5. In order to download the XeroxDrivers_5.4.2_2138.dmg driver package you will need to click the accept button on the End User License Agreement:

9. Click the Continue button:
10. Click the Continue button:
11. Click the Agree button and the Continue button:
12. Click the Install button:
13. There is a possibility you will have to authenticate this install with your local machine admin authority credentials. (Note: this is NOT your access.caltech account. This is your local machine admin account because you are affecting changes to your local machine).
14. Click the Continue button:
15. Click the Close button:
16. Launch a web browser and in the URL bar enter the following: localhost:631 for the address. There is a very possible chance that when you attempt to access this your computer will deny access to this resource (or display a Web Interface is Disabled message). This is quite normal and the solution is very straight forward. If you do not encounter this issue, skip directly to step 32:
17. Launch the Terminal application and enter the following: cupsctl WebInterface=yes (and press enter). When complete, exit Terminal:
18. You should have the following screen. Click the Administration link near the top. Click the Add Printer button:
19. After you have clicked the Add Printer button you will be prompted for your local machine admin authority credentials. (Note: this is NOT your access.caltech account.

    4. lpd://access.caltech.username@131.215.225.26/library-grayscale-simplex
23. IMPORTANT: It is very important that you replace the access.caltech.username variable with your correct access.caltech username. This is how you authenticate to the printers. For example, if your access.caltech username is mauricemoss, then you would enter: lpd://mauricemoss@131.215.225.26/library-color-duplex. The access.caltech username must be correct otherwise the card release will not recognize the print job. After entering the appropriate information, click the Continue button:
