Installation Guide

Important Note about Uninstalling Print Audit 5

IMPORTANT:

You cannot uninstall Print Audit 5 by simply dragging it to the Trash.

When Print Audit 5 is installed, it integrates with part of the printing system on your

Macintosh in order to track printing.

If you want to uninstall Print Audit 5 from your

computer, you

must

run the Print Audit 5 Uninstaller first.

After successfully running the

uninstaller, it is safe to drag Print Audit 5 to the Trash.

The Print Audit 5 Uninstaller is always installed along with Print Audit 5, in the Uninstall

folder.

A copy is also included both on the Print Audit 5 CD and in the Print Audit 5 disk

image available for download from

http://www.printaudit.com/

.

System Requirements

Print Audit 5 requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later. You need to update any computers

running Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) to 10.3.9 or newer before installing Print Audit 5.

Computers running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) do not require any updates.

To determine

which version of Mac OS X is running on your Macintosh, click on “About this Mac” in the

Apple menu.

Print Audit 5 also requires one (1) Windows-based PC running Windows98 or newer to

host the Print Audit 5 database and administrative software.

It is not possible to install

Print Audit 5 to a network which does not have at least one Windows computer.

Upgrading from Print Audit 4 Mac

If you are upgrading from Print Audit 4 Mac, you must

completely

uninstall Print Audit 4

from your Macintosh before installing Print Audit 5 on it.

The Print Audit 5 installer will

display an error message and prevent you from installing if Print Audit 4 is found on your

Macintosh.

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

Print Audit 5

For new installations of Print Audit 5, you need to install to at least one Windows

computer before installing to your Macintosh computers.

The database and

administrative tools required to use Print Audit 5 only run on Windows-based computers.

If you already have Print Audit 5 configured and running on one or more Windows PCs,

skip to the next section.

The basic steps required to set up Print Audit 5 on a Windows computer are outlined

below.

1. Install Print Audit 5 to at least one computer running Windows 98 or newer.

This

installs the administrative and reporting tools along with the Client Communicator

and a Windows Print Audit 5 Client you can use for testing. We recommend using

the “Quick Install” option in the Print Audit 5 installation.

2. Configure Print Audit 5 using the Administrator. This allows you to setup how you

want the Macintosh client to behave and what information you want users to

enter before they can print.

3. Test the configuration, using the Print Audit 5 client you installed in Step 1.

Ensure that printing is tracked correctly and that you configured the software to

your specifications.

See the

Print Audit 5 Installation Guides

for more information on installing Print Audit 5 to

a Windows PC.

Also, consult the

Print Audit 5 User Manual

for information on

configuring Print Audit 5 to meet your needs.

Installing Print Audit 5 to a Macintosh Computer

If you previously installed and configured Print Audit 5 on your Windows computers or

just installed it as described above, you can now install Print Audit 5 to the Macintosh

computers on your network.

1. Download the latest version of the Print Audit 5 Macintosh software from the Print

Audit web site at

http://www.printaudit.com/

, or insert the Print Audit 5 CD in the

Mac’s optical drive.

a. If you have downloaded Print Audit 5, double-click on the downloaded

Disk Image (.dmg) file to open it in the finder.

b. If you inserted the Print Audit 5 CD, browse to the /Installers/Macintosh

folder on the CD using the Finder.

2. Ensure you are logged into an Administrator account on your Mac.

3. Double-click on the Print Audit 5 Installer package to start the installation.

4. The installer now walks you through the steps of viewing the Read Me file,

accepting the License Agreement, and picking the location on your hard disk you

want to install Print Audit 5 to.

5. The installer asks for an Administrator’s login and password.

If your account is

an Administrator account on the Mac, use your password.

The Print Audit 5

installer requires this password to integrate with the printing system software

included with your Mac.

6.

IMPORTANT:

During the final phase of the installation Print Audit displays the

Print Audit 5 Client Configuration Utility.

You must enter either the hostname or

IP address of the Client Communicator you installed when you set up Print Audit

5 on your Windows computers.

The other default settings are usually correct.

When complete, click the Save Settings button

.

If you configure Print Audit 5

incorrectly, it will not track printing.

To re-configure Print Audit 5 at any time you can log-in as an administrator and double-

click the Print Audit 5 Client Configuration application in the Print Audit 5\Utilities folder.

Installing Print Audit 5 to a network of Macintosh computers

Once everything is working correctly on one computer you may want to install Print Audit

5 to all of your Macs.

If you have only a few Macintosh computers you can install the

software on each computer individually.

For networks of more than a few Macs, you may want to use a product like

Apple

Remote Desktop

to remotely install Print Audit 5 to all of your computers.
