Adding the printer on a Macintosh

Regrettably Peage does not support the native printing method for Macintoshes (Cups or IPP printing). There is a
'Workaround' that uses 'Windows Printing'. The procedure does not allow for errors, when making an error you will
have to delete the printer and start all over again. In this case MacOS X does not seem to be very user friendly.

• Open “System Preferences”, select “Print & Fax”


• Press the ”+” button, it will open the “Printer Browser”
• Click in the Toolbar on "Advanced" (if unavailable: right click on the menu en choose "Customize Toolbar...
", drag the "Advanced" icon into the Toolbar)

• Enter requested data:


o Type: Windows
o URL: smb://mostar.hosting.ru.nl/Ricoh5000NWI
o Device: Another Device
o Name: Ricoh5000NWI
o Locatie: HG03.055
o Print Using: Ricoh5000NWI
o Locatie: HG03.055
o Print Using: Ricoh MP 5000 PS or, in case the driver can not be found, Generic postscript Printer.
• Click “Add”.

Whenever trying to use this printer the message 'On Hold (Authentication required)' is reported in 'Ricoh5000NWI'
printer job list.
Click on 'Resume'. A dialog requesting your credential will pop up.
Provide your U/S/Enumber, prepended by your domain, and password, eg 'ru\u123456' or 'b-fac\science-account'.
