Macintosh

Printer installation is done with the Managed software Center. The Managed Software Center is an App included on Gustavus imaged Macintosh computers running OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) or newer.

It is a self-service tool that allows you to install Gustavus-owned software and printers without needing a member of GTS to locate the software and install it for you. Managed Software Center also installs OS X software updates.

Locating Managed Software Center

  • Use Spotlight and type in Managed Software Center

or

  • Navigate to the Applications folder and launch Managed Software Center

Once opened Managed Software Center should look similar to the image below. Managed Software Center's main page includes an alphabetical list of all software and printers available for your Mac as well as a list of links to useful websites located on the right hand side of the window.
