Printing at School from Staff MacBooks

Which printers can I use at school with my
Staff MacBook?
Before distributing the computers to teachers, the District 21 Technology Office worked with each school’s iTech teacher to make an accurate list of printers throughout the school that teachers would need for printing on a regular basis. These printers were all added on a district-wide server. From there, we can quickly and easily add a printer to all computers in a school’s Staff MacBook group.
However, there may be situations that a classroom printer is not included in the list, most likely because it is not in a common area, and/or will not be used by many teachers. If you find that you need a printer that is not included in the list, you can add it yourself by following the directions labeled Adding a District Printer (to be published shortly and linked here!). These instructions will work anywhere within the District, so if you go to a different building within the District and would like to add the printer, you can, and it will stick in your list of preferred printers on your Staff MacBook.
