Follow the Install instructions in the Install CD - install Print server -Turn OFF Firewall -turn off Mac ADDRESS Filtering on your router by opening the brouser (usually 192.168.1.1) Once you have installed the device with the SSID and set your password - check it is found by the router - OK. On your Mac, choose Apple menu System Preferences, then click Printers & Scanners. If your Mac and printer are already connected to the same Wi-Fi network, the printer might be available to you without any setup. To check, choose File Print, click the Printer pop-up menu, choose Nearby Printers or Printers & Scanners preferences, then choose. T he 'Use:' drop down should automatically select the correct drivers for your printer model. If it defaults to 'Generic Printer', try: Try changing the Protocol setting, and re-select 'Auto Select' from the Use menu. Repeat for each Protocol setting. Make sure you and your printer are powered on and connected to the network, naturally.

So, the answer to this is no. But a more round-about answer is sort of (as far as driver delivery and config), depending on your infrastructure.

Step 1 Connect your MAC PC to the print server with an Ethernet cable directly. On your MAC PC, click Apple icon and go to System Preferences. Then click Network. Step 2 Go to Ethernet, Advanced, select Manually on Configure IPv4 field and set the IP address &.

Ok, base answer. There is no 'print server' in OS X Server any more. Instead, you can add printers to the server and share them using system preferences. But if they are network printers (or AirPrint printers) they are already broadcasting on the network so resharing them will only result in multiple broadcast queues. Likewise, OS X and Server alone can not 'deliver' print drivers to devices.

Now, there are products that can accomplish this. For example, you can look at something as simple as Apple Remote Desktop. Now, the process would still be manual in that you would have to push the drivers to the device and you would have to have credentials for the device. So if these are not devices owned by you that is likely not going to work. If you have a fleet of devices, JAMF is a great solution as all software can be delivered dynamically and transparently to the end user. But, that is really for environments over 50 devices.

But, all that said, if you have a device that is not configured to the printer and you select the printer, is the device able to find the driver in Apple's software repository? For small deployments where you may not control the individual systems, that is likely the easiest way.

Or, you can place the drivers and a configuration script on a file share.
