How to add new Kyocera printers to your Macbook.
As of Summer 2018 the old Toshiba Copiers have been removed and replaced with new Kyocera models. This guide will show you how to add the printers for your site to your Macbook in a few easy steps.
Step 1: If you do not have Kyocera Print Panel as one of your installed applications, open Chrome and go to kyocera123.com and click the MacOS download link on the right:
Double click the file and then double click the first icon in the folder:
Continue through all of the menus, input password where required until the installation finishes.
Step 2:Go to the printer you want to add. Click the touchscreen until you see the main menu, then click “Device Information” at the bottom.
The next screen will show you both the IP address of the printer as well as the Hostname. You can use either to add the printer to the Mac. Write down either or both to use later.
Step 3: Adding the Printers. Open system preferences from your dock and click “Printers and Scanners”.
Click the plus button at the bottom left of the next menu and click “add printer or scanner”:
Click IP at the top of the screen:
This is where you enter either the Hostname or the IP. It is recommended to add by Hostname so that you will not have to retype the name of the printer in the “name” box. Make sure the protocol is set to LPD, wait for the Mac to detect the correct driver in the last column(should say “Kyocera TaskAlfa 6052i print driver” or something similar), and then click “add”.
Click Ok on the next screen without making any changes.
That’s it! You will see the printer you added in the list on the left.
