You can check it out here!

Instructions

1. Get the printer address

   • University of Glasgow Students can find their unique IPP address at mobileprint.gla.ac.uk/. Click on 'Driver Print'->Select Mac OSX->Find your unique printer address and resource location on this page.

2. Paste it in

   • Type all the info into the appropriate fields.
   • Remove ipp:// or ipps:// from the printer address, if this is relevant. iOS infers this from the 'Use TLS' value.
   • The 'Resource Location' will be everything after the first '/'.
   • University of Glasgow Students: Leave 'Use TLS' unchecked, port 631.

3. Configure Profile (Optional)

   • Optionally, define a name, description, and identifier for the font.
   • The name and description are for your reference, but the identifier will be used to determine whether to replace existing profiles.

4. Generate and Install the Profile

   • Click the Generate profile button.
   • If using a desktop browser: A configuration profile will be downloaded. Transfer the profile to the mobile device, then tap on it in the Files app.
   • If using Safari: You will be prompted to install the profile. Tap "Allow".
   • On the mobile device, open the Settings app. Tap "Profile Downloaded", then follow the installation instructions.
