Clearing the default print server
We may have, at one time, configured your Mac to query our print server for a list of available printers.
This can cause some issues with Landscape mode, number of copies, PDF printing etc. It is recommended that
you perform the following actions and add each printer individually for the best printing experience
- Open the Terminal application.It is located in the Applications/Utilities folder
- Type "sudo pico /etc/cups/client.conf" (without the quotes) and hit Enter
- Hit the down arrow until you get to the line: ServerName printers.bio.purdue.edu
- Type Control-k to delete this line
- Type Control-o and then Enter to save the file
- Type Control-x to exit the editor
- Type "sudo killall -HUP cupsd" (without the quotes) in the Terminal and hit Enter
- Close the Terminal application
- Restart any Printer queue programs that were open at the time
