Look for corresponding printer driver in list, and click OK. You can use the search feature on the top right to help narrow down the choices. Please keep in mind printer companies will use the same driver for a series of printers. I.E. a printer may be a model number of 5451 however the driver may be for the 5400 series printers. There also may be a time when you cannot get a driver for a printer you can try to add it with one of the Generic PostScript Printer and make a test print. You also will have to authenticate the printer with your UAlbany Net ID and Password
After the printer is installed you can make a test print by double clicking on the printer in System Preferences and when the next window pops up going to Printer and Print Test Page
If your printer does not show up in the list navigate back to System Preferences and Printers & Scanners. Click the “+” sign
Right click or hold the Control button on your keyboard and click on the grey area next to Windows. Select Customize Tool Bar. Drag the Advanced icon up next to the Windows Icon.
