  4. Click Install on the printer you would like to use.

    • Printers are named for their building and room location. In the example above, "nwqb7460a_PS" is for a printer located in North West Quad, B building, room 7460.

    • The installed printer should be visible and available in "Printers & Scanners" on the System Preferences pane.
