Installing a Printer Driver in Snow Leopard I have a new mac which is now running Snow Leopard, I live on campus at BYU in the dorms, I wanted to print to an on-campus printer but I was unable to download the printer driver from BYU.edu. I need to if there is a way to print from my computer.

"The easiest way you can do this is to go to the optional installs on the Snow Leopard disk, then install printer drivers. This will waste about 4 GB of space, but mean you can print to almost any printer without having to download drivers.

Normally, though, if you try to print to a specific printer you don't have drivers for, Snow Leopard will download the drivers (from the Apple servers). Your first step should be trying to connect to that printer to actually print something. This is the part the BYU helpdesk can help you with. If you want to try yourself, start with the Print and Fax preference, and try adding the printer you want to use."
