Pharos UniPRINT E-mail

Pharos UniPRINT requires additional server configuration to function correctly in Mac OS X (10.2/10.3)

Pharos UniPRINT configuration

  1. Contact Pharos Support and request the Macintosh OS X package. Included in this package are a number of important files: A Pop-up client, a revised Pharos LPD server, and a registry patch
  2. Connect to the machine hosting the Pharos UniPRINT server and stop the Pharos LPD service. Install the new Pharos executable, pslpd.exe. Double check the version number, it should be build 1688 or later.
  3. Stop the Pharos UniPRINT LPD service, and then start the Pharos LPD Service.

OS X Client configuration

  1. Popup Configuration:

    The Pharos UniPRINT system allows for the installation of a "popup" service. This service supports tagging print jobs with extra information under Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows Me/ 98/ 95 and Macintosh. A window pops up to allow the collection of extra information about a print job. This data collection takes place immediately after the job is spooled from the client workstation. The information is then forwarded to the Pharos Server. If your Installation of Pharos does not use this service, you do not need to install the "Popup.pkg" file from Pharos.
  2. Open the Print Center utility. Select the "IP Printing" option from the pulldown menu. At this screen, a number of fields need to be entered. In the Printer's address, enter the UniPRINT server name hosting the Pharos LPD Server. If the machine hosting the print queues is named UniPRINT.your.institution.edu, one would type this into the "Printer's Address" box.
  3. Next, uncheck the "Use default queue on server" and enter the printer queue that you are printing to. The queue is most commonly the "hold" queue on the UniPRINT server. If the queue is "HP 4100", enter this in the "Queue Name" box.
  4. The Printer Model does not have to be selected. You may however, manually choose the printer model. Note that the advanced features may or may not be controlled by the UniPRINT server depending on how the UniPRINT server is configured.
