Mac OS
- First thing's first. You'll need a driver for your Mac. Go to https://www.konicaminolta.eu/eu-en/support/download-centre
- Search for the corresponding product depending on your primary spotÂ
- 'bizhub C227' (The View and Factory 2.0)Â
- 'bizhub C224e' (The Space)
- 'bizhub C250i' (Greenhouse)
- You just need one driver across all floors - so yeah, you can print on the other printers as well w/o additional work on your side
- Install the driver as any other DMG package. Please note that the installation won't start automatically after the DMG image is mounted. You have to manually start it by double-clicking the file inside the mounted DMG image in the Finder under 'Locations'.
- Go to System Preferences and choose 'Print & Scan'.
- Start adding a new printer by clicking on '+' below the list of available devices.
- Click on the IP tab and enter Address your_username@10.91.10.99 For example if your username is âpuzlâ then the Address should be âpuzl@10.91.10.99â (without the quotes).
- For 'Type' choose âLine Printer Daemon - LPDâ in the Protocol field
- For 'Name' type choose what you would like. 'Puzl Printer' for example.
- For 'Use' choose âSelect softwareâŠâ option, select 'KONICA MINOLTA C224e PS or C227 PS (the latter being the workable option for newer OSs) from the list of available printer drivers. Click OK.
- Click 'Add' and if a second window appears leave all fields as is and click OK. Now the printer is ready for use.
