• Click "Next" to continue

You should now be able to print from any Windows application.

• Open "System Preferences"
• Open "Printers & Scanners"

Click the "+" button

If using a mouse, hold the control key and click the blank space next to "More Printers" and click "Customize Toolbar"

If not using a mouse, two finger click the trackpad at the same location.

Drag "Advanced" from the item list onto the toolbar. Click "Done".

Click "Advanced". It may take 30 seconds to complete

• COEprint is a network queue that allows printing to release stations in the College of Engineering. To add a specific printer: replace COEprint with the name of the printer.

Click "Add". You will be prompted for features of the printer. Select the checkbox for Duplex printing. Click OK.

After you send a test page to the new printer, you will be prompted for your ONID username and password. Username should be in the form username@oregonstate.edu.
You can choose to remember the password to avoid being prompted every time you print.

Notice: If you input the wrong password (or when you change your password), the job will sit on your mac's spooler indefinitely.

You will need to click on the printer icon in your dock and resume the job to be prompted for your credentials again.

When your ONID password changes, will need to update the credential in the keychain for winprn.engr.oregonstate.edu
