Prerequisite: Installation to a Windows PC, for Networks not yet running Printanista Workflow

For new installations of Printanista Workflow, you must install to at least one Windows computer before installing to your Mac computers. The database and administrative tools required to use Printanista Workflow will only operate on Windows-based computers.

If you already have Printanista Workflow configured and running on one or more Windows PCs, skip to the next section.

The basic steps required to set up Printanista Workflow on a Windows computer are outlined below.

  1. Install Printanista Workflow to at least one Window-based computer, to install the Administrative and Reporting tools along with the Client Services (and optionally a Windows Client you can use for testing). We recommend using the Quick Install option in thePrintanista Workflow installation. Please review the Windows System Requirements for more information.
  2. Configure Printanista Workflow using the Administration website. This allows you to setup how you want the Mac client to behave and what information you want users to enter before they can print.
  3. Test the configuration, using the Printanista Workflow Windows Client client you installed in Step 1, or an existing IUM desktop client. Ensure that printing is tracked correctly and that you configured the software to your specifications.
