2. Log in as an administrator and run the Popup installer to install the Popup client on your Mac OS X client machines.
3. For each client machine, use the Mac OS X Print Center or Printer Setup Utility applications to add Popup printer queues.

Requirements

Pharos Popup 8.0 requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later. Version 6.1 or later of the Pharos Popup and LPD Servers must also be installed at your site.

Installing Popup

To install Popup 8.0 for Mac OS X, obtain the Popup installer and run it:

1. Log in to the client machine, using an administrator account.
2. Obtain the file from Pharos Systems.
3. Double-click this file to create a new disk image in Finder. This disk contains the Popup 8.0 installer, .

If a Print Server has the host name "PharosServer" and a Popup queue named "MacQueue", the device URI should be "popup://PharosServer/MacQueue".
Important: Do NOT use the address of the target printer. "print_server_address" should always be the address of a Pharos Print Server. Do NOT remove the "popup://" part of the URI.

Notes

Popup is currently not compatible with the Fast User Switching feature of Mac OS X. Always disable Fast User Switching when installing Popup on a client machine.

If there are printers on the network that support Apple's Bonjour (Rendezvous) technology, users may be able to bypass the Pharos printing system. To avoid this problem, disable the Bonjour (Rendezvous) features of any such printers.

If a firewall is present between the client machine and the Pharos Popup and LPD Servers, the following ports must be opened for traffic for Popup to work properly:

1. Port 515.
2. Port 28203.
