How to Choose a Printer Compatible with University Systems

When selecting a printer for use with university systems, it's important to ensure compatibility with the operating systems used in labs and personal devices.

Identify Your Operating System

First, determine the operating system running on your computer. Common systems include:

Microsoft Windows (10, 8, 7, etc.)
Apple macOS (Ventura, Monterey, Big Sur, etc.)
Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint, etc.)

Check your OS version under Settings or About This Mac to ensure compatibility.

Check Printer Compatibility

Verify that the printer model supports your OS:

Check the product details for Windows, macOS, or Linux compatibility
Ensure drivers are available for your OS version
Newer OS versions may not support older printers

Operating System Drivers

After selecting a compatible printer, install the appropriate drivers:

Download drivers from the manufacturer's website
Follow installation instructions specific to your OS

The manufacturer's website provides driver links and setup guides.
