For example, to install Print Job Agent on Windows workstations, Copy "Print Job Agent.msi" to the network share or client computer, double click "Print Job Agent.msi" to install the agent. The add-on Print Job Agent can also be installed silently using Windows Group Policy.

Step 4. Click Start -> All Programs -> Print Job Agent -> Print Job Agent 1.0 to run the agent. Enter the computer name or the IP Address of the computer that has PrinterAdmin Print Job Manager installed.

Note:

1. Print Job Agent will be started automatically when user login next time.

2. Modify Print Job Agent.msi package to include the name or IP address of the computer where you installed PrinterAdmin Print Job Manager 6.0, so you don't have to enter it manually when you run Print Job Agent the first time on each workstation. Visit Step 1 of Windows Group Policy how to Orca to modify Print Job Agent.msi .

Step 5. When users print, they can either click Print button on the popup window to print the job or Cancel button to cancel the job.

Note:

1. If the popup doesn't appear, see FAQ 3.

2. The "enable batch print mode" can be selected to hide the popup, so users don't have to enter their user name and PIN every time when they print. You can also define the computers to enable batch print mode only for some specific users.
