Before trying to add this printer manually, you will first need to install the latest PS PPD driver (3.0 or higher) from the Konica Minolta support site. The model you want is the bizhub C550i. In the steps below, you DO NOT want to enable User Authentication after you enable Account Track in steps 5 & 6. If you do accidentally enable User Authentication, the system will not let you disable it afterward, and so you will need to remove the printer entirely (under System Preferences) and re-add it from scratch.
Setup Print Code and Authentication
Printing to this device is restricted to authorized users only. If you do not have a code, please contact the Comm Studies department for access.
In the following example, the screenshots show GAB424LP, but the same approach applies to GAB309Alp.
- Open a printable document (you dont have to print it, but we will save your authentication information)
- Go to File > Print
- Click Show Details
- Select Output Method from the dropdown where your application name is currently shown, in this case TextEdit. (Other applications may look slightly different)
- Click the box next to Account Track
- The Account Track window will appear
- Department Name - leave blank
- Password - enter your 4 digit print passcode
- Click the box next to Save Settings (optional)
- Click OK
- Click on the dropdown menu next to Presets (optional to save settings for future use)
- Click Save Current Settings as Preset...
- Name the preset: GAB 309A Laser Printer
- Click All Printers
- Click OK
- NOTE: If you save this preset, the next time you need to print to these printers, you can just select this preset from the list of presets instead of entering your information every time.
- Click Save Current Settings as Preset...
- Click Print
- Your document should now get sent to the printer for release.
