Set Up Your Printers

To set up and manage your printers, use the “Print & Fax” pane in the System Preferences. You may never need to use this preference—try printing, and if it works, then skip this section! If it doesn't work, check these preferences.

Your Mac automatically finds printers that are directly connected to the computer or that are on your local network. If your Mac doesn't find your printer automatically, use the preferences, as explained below.
