    Installing printer driver on a mac

    Hi,
    I have a Mac and want to connect it to the printer at my work. It is a Toshiba E-Studio 4520c and has wireless network capabilities.
    I have installed the drive on my computer but cant seem to get it to show up in the printer list when I click on the 'add printer' option.

    What am i doing wrong??? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi,

    Did you download the PPD from Toshiba web site or do you have the blue client utilities CD that comes with the machine?

      I downloaded it from the Toshiba website.
      Not sure if we are allowed to post links but this is the link for the page that I got the PPD download from:Toshiba - Photocopiers, printers and fax
      I downloaded the 0S X 10.6 version.

        That looks OK

        Then run the PPD file. That installs the drivers to where they need to be. System Prefs, Print and Fax, Click the +, it should find the copier normally with bonjour, then select the driver at the bottom.

        If it's not appearing then check that bonjour is enabled on the copier.
