C. Add Printer

The ETH Printers Tool can be found under Macintosh -> Applications -> Utilities -> ETH Printers or you can search for “ETH Printers“.

When starting the tool, you are asked to connect to the Server. Click on “Connect“.

Here you have to log in with the d\eth-username and the ETH standard password (the same as with mail, server, etc.). (Backslash CH keyboard: Shift + Alt + 7).

Then you can add the desired printer.

The printers are sorted by location/building, i.e. you can install a specific printer for the desired room/building and then print directly on this device.

See Example: HP ColorLaserjet HIL C 75

For the card printer, with which you can execute the print job on any printer with the ETH card, you must install the “card-hp” with “Install Printer“.

Printing in color

When you have successfully installed your printer, it is configured to print in black and white by default. You can change this by setting the option “Print in grayscale” in the printer dialog menu under “Color” [1] to “Off” [2]. When you print now [3], your print job will be printed once in color.

If you always want to print in color, you can make this setting in the preferences at the top on “Save current settings as default…” [4].
