Adding HuskyPrint and networked printers (Mac)

HuskyPrint

Fully managed

If you have a fully managed device, you will already have the HuskyPrint stations installed and do not need to install  HuskyPrint or Papercut. Visit Managed Devices at Michigan Tech for more details.

Minimally managed or personal

If you have a minimally managed or personal Mac, the Papercut Client is required. You will need to first install HuskyPrint and Papercut (Mac). Visit macOS printing articles for instructions.

Adding networked printers

If you have a minimally managed or personal Mac, you will need to launch the Papercut Client to print.
