Install the Workflow Client for Mac® on a Single Computer

We recommend that all previous versions of the client are already removed from the current computer before performing this install.

If you previously installed and configured Workflow on your Windows computer or just installed it as described above, you can now install Workflow Client for Mac to the Mac computers on your network.

  1. Ensure you are logged into an account with administrator privilege
  2. Download the latest version of Workflow Client for Mac from the Print Audit web site at http://www.printaudit.com/ . Double-click on the downloaded Disk Image (.dmg) file to open it in the finder.
  3. Double-click on the .pkg file to start the installation.
  4. Review the Read Me file
  5. Accept the License Agreement
  6. Select the location on your hard disk where you want to install theWorkflow Client for Mac.
  7. Enter the login and password of a user account with administrative privileges. If your account has administrative privileges for the Mac, use your password. The Workflow Client for Mac installer requires administrative privileges in order to integrate with the printing system software included with your Mac.
  8. Enter the hostname or IP address of the Client Services URL that was configured for thePrintanista Workflow server software.

    1. The default format for the URL should be: https://<Location>/Services/ where <Location> is the IP address or hostname of the machine running the Printanista Workflow client services.

    2. If the client services are communicating on a port other that the default port of 443, enter the URL using the following format: https://<Location>/<Port>/Services/ where <Port> is the alternate HTTPS port. Typically, the alternate port is 6321.

Important: During the final phase of the installation, the Printanista Workflow Configuration utility is displayed. You must enter either the hostname or IP address of the Client Services URL that was configured when Printanista Workflow was installed and set up on the Windows computer. The Workflow Client for Mac will use this hostname or URL to communicate with the Printanista Workflow server to track jobs.
  1. Leaving the Turn on debug logging unchecked should be sufficient for most environments. This is provided here as a convenience in the event that you need to trouble shoot an issue with our Support Team.

  2. When complete, click the Save Settings button. The Printanista Workflow Configuration app will attempt to connect to the service URL provided, to confirm that it is reachable.

To re-configure Workflow Client for Mac, authenticate as an administrator and double click the Printanista Workflow Configuration application in the Printanista Workflow application folder.
