How do I setup my Mac computer for remote printing?
Remote printing has to be setup on your computer before you can use the technology. First you will have to install the "Popup and Notify" software. Then you will need to add the Popup printer queue to your computer.
If you are sending a print job from off campus (not connected to an OSU network), you will need to connect using the OSU VPN before printing the file.
