Obsolete: Manual Setup (not for HP printers!)

Download the printer drivers and install them once.

You need to do this only once for the first printer.

Take optional drivers for MacOS 10 (Catalina and earlier).
The recommended drivers are: :

Printer	Recommended Drivers	Optional drivers
MP C3003SP, `card-ethz` and `card-stud`	`RICOH MP C3003 PS`	`NRG MP C3003 PS`
MP C305SP	`Aficio MP C305 PS`	`NRG MP C305 PS`

Choose the Print & Scan settings in System Preferences.

Verify that the lock is unlocked and then click on the + button.

Hold the CTRL key and click on the toolbar. Choose Customize Toolbar… in the popup.

Drag the Advanced button on the toolbar and Click on Done when done.

Click on the new Advanced button in the toolbar.

Set Type to Windows printer via spools and URL to smb://pia01.d.ethz.ch/ followed by the printer name which can be found in the list of D-INFK printers.

Set Name and Location fields as you see fit.

Choose Select Software… in Print Using (or Use) and select the printer driver and click OK.
If you can not see the NRG MP Drivers, check if you downloaded and installed them already.

Click Add to finish adding the printer. The installation process may take a while.

Default Printer

Set Default Printer to either the printer of your choice or Last Printer Used.

Configuration

Select the printer and click on Options & Supplies…. Select the Options tab in the new window.

Set the installable options. For the MP C3003SP printer these are:

Options Tray: Tray 3 (LCT)
Finisher: Finisher 3150

These options should also be set for card-ethz and card-stud.

For the MP C305SP use:

Options Tray: Tray 2 and 3

Click OK to apply the changes.

Authentication

When you print to the printer for the first time you will need to authenticate. Check Remember this password in my keychain to save the password. Enter ETH user name and your ETH password for email.
