How does a Mac system share a Windows printer/local printer/network printer?

Mac installs the local printer network printer Windows printer. The small weave uses 3 printer canon LBP2900, HP LaserJet P1008, HP LaserJet Professional to test.

Verifying printers

1, not all types of printers can be used on the Mac, you can see on the Apple website whether your printer has a driver under Mac OS: OS X: Downloadable printers and scanners software, if not in this list, it will not install the driver, use the printer. As this test Canon LBP2900 not list, even if the canon said that there is a drive can be replaced by the LBP3000 driver, but not.

2, click on the Mac OS "System Preferences", click "Printers and Scanners."

3, click "+" below the list of printers and click "Add Printer or scanner". Accordingly, select the printer you have added, and then click-To remove the printer.

Add a local printer network printer

1, add the printer connected to the Mac machine, as long as the correct installation of the driver, both in the "default" interface to find the printer.

2, click on the printer, the name can be customized, and then click "Use" in the "Select Software", select and then click the corresponding driver (searchable), return to click "Add", you can complete the Add local printer.

3, add a network printer and add a local printer is the same, the difference is the remote configuration of the network printer IP. HP LaserJet Professional P1606DN is a network printer that is driven by the configuration interface.

Add a Windows printer

1, HP LaserJet P1008 in the OS X driver list, is can install, but always print half and fail, not its solution, share the steps, hope guidance. Hold down the command key on the Mac keyboard, right-click the blank space of the menu in the printer's interface, click "Customize Toolbar", and drag "advanced" into the toolbar.

2, click the "Advanced" tab, select the type of Jetdirect,url must be ip+ printer name, the printer to the printer on the Windows computer view. Name Customization. Using the Select Software, click Add.

3, click to continue, you can complete the printer Add.

This step is certainly right, to the HP website to download and install the latest driver, the OS X driver list is also available, but the selection software does not have the corresponding driver software. My Mac OS version is 10.10.2, maybe the version is too high and there is no corresponding, perhaps ....

Note: The last successful printing of this example is the use of a network printer.
