Printer Installation

PC

For HP department printers, the printer should install automatically after a restart. If you do not see it when trying to print, please check your desktop for a shortcut named "CPH Printers".

Double clicking that shortcut will install the correct printer for your department. If you are still not able to access the printer, please email cphhelp@temple.edu for assistance.

For Legacy Xerox printers, if the printer is not available, please put in a help desk ticket or email cphhelp@temple.edu and we will assist you in getting it installed.

Mac

To install The new HP printers on a Mac you will have to open the Self Service app. It should be in your applications folder or you can search for it with spotlight. If your mac does not have the Self Service app please put in a ticket at tuhelp.temple.edu or email cphhelp@temple.edu and we can get your system updated.

  • Once Self service is open, click on the printers section and select the printer for your department. Installation can take about 5 minutes as it has to install the full HP driver suite. Once the install completes, you should see the printer under system preferences/printers.


  • Double click the printer to bring up the print queue and go to the printer menu, and choose test print


  • It should begin to print, but stop and ask for authentication. Click on the small circle at the end of the print job, and it will prompt for your Temple login. Check the box to save the login, and the print will complete.
