The new printer will now show up in the list of printers. To print to the new queue, select it from the printer popup button in the print dialog of any application.

What if popup still does not work?

There are some cases where popup will not work with these settings. If you get a pharos error message after following the previous steps, there is an alternate way to add the local printer.

Just like above, select System Preferences from the Dock and go to Print & Fax. Click on the + button.

Here is where the processes diverge. Select IP Printer at the top of the dialog box. In Protocol, select Line Printer Daemon - LPD .

Select HP at Print Using: and scroll down to select HP LaserJet 4200 Series . Select Add.

Note that the popup asking for information will not occur when you try to print to the SILS Printer. This version of installing the popup printer will FILL IN THE INFORMATION for you. Your computer's user name will be the Name associated with the print job, and the name of the file itself will be added as the Job Name.
