• Open terminal and run the following command, but replace PRINTERNAME with a name for the printer you are adding and IPADDRESS with the IP Address of the printer you are adding (please make note of the IP address, as the menu automatically collapses). . sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p PRINTERNAME -E -v socket://IPADDRESS:9100 -P ~/Downloads/<name_of_PPD_file>.ppd
• To set this as your default printer, run the following command, replacing PRINTERNAME with the name you gave to the printer you just addedsudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -d PRINTERNAME
