These instructions explain how to add printers to your personal macOS device. If you have a district-issued laptop and need additional printers, please use Self Service to add new printers instead of Mobility Print. For specific directions, please see this article.

 

  1. Ensure your device is connected to the USCSD-PPSK WiFi network.
  2. Navigate to System Settings > Printers and Scanners (this is called System Preferences > Printers and Scanners on older versions of macOS).
  3. Click the Add Printer, Scanner or Fax button under the Printers List (this is a + icon on older versions of macOS).
    • The Add Printer dialog is displayed. It displays a list of all of the discovered printers on the network.
  4. Select a printer that uses the Bonjour protocol. The NameLocation, and Use is displayed.
  5. At the bottom of the dialog box, check that Use is set to Secure AirPrint.
  6. If Secure AirPrint isn’t displayed:
    1. Close the Add dialog.
    2. Disconnect from the network, then reconnect to it again.
    3. Check if you can see Secure AirPrint now. If you can’t, contact your System Administrator.
  7. Click Add.
  8. Print your document. When prompted, enter your district username and password.
    IMPORTANT: Only enter your username; please omit the domain name at the end (e.g., @uscsd.k12.pa.us, @uscstudents.org, @uscrobotics.org, or @usctoday.org).

 

If you are not sure how to print from your application, take a look at Print from your Mac.

Note: You area only able to print to the printers within the building you are currently located in, regardless if you have added them previously. To print to other buildings remotely, use PaperCut WebPrint.

Note: If you enter the wrong authentication details, macOS devices do not show any warning message; your job will just not print. If your job doesn’t print, check the Print Queue dialog. If the print job is there and has the message Held for authentication, click the refresh icon; then re-enter your login details.
