Macintosh HuskyPrint Installation for
ResNet, Wired Access Plug-in and Wireless Users

To use the campus HuskyPrint system on ResNet, or to use your laptop to print from a campus wired access plug-in (open data jack) or wireless connection, you must first install printing.

Requirements

Installing printing requires that you:

  • Have successfully installed, configured, and registered your computer for HuskyNet or ResNet
  • Are currently on campus and active on the network
  • Know your HuskyNetID (username) and password
  • Have Macintosh OS X 10.2 or later

Instructions

Step 1: Install the Popup application

  • Download the file Popup.dmg.
  • Double-click the .dmg file to create a new disk image in Finder. This disk contains the Popup installer, Popup.pkg.
  • Double-click the installer to run it.

You might have to authenticate yourself as an administrator for your computer. If so, click the lock icon and type in an administrator username and password. Select a destination volume (you will only be able to select the startup volume). Click <Install> (or <Upgrade>). The installer will automatically install the Popup application.

When the installer is finished the Popup Setup Assistant is launched automatically. For the Server Address, type 199.17.25.141 and click the <Continue> button. By default the Popup application will be enabled and will start automatically when you login to your computer. Click the <Continue> button again to see a summary of configuration values. Click the <Done> button to finish.

Step 2: Install an SCSU printer

  • Open the Print Center or Printer Setup Utility application in Applications/Utilities. If your are using Mac OS X 10.4, hold down the <Option> key on the keyboard and press the <More Printers> button on screen. If you are using Mac OS X 10.2 or 10.3, hold down the <Option> key on the keyboard and press the <Add> button on screen.
  • From the dropdown list at the top of the window, choose "Advanced". Choose "Pharos Print Server" from the "Device" dropdown list.
  • Enter a "Device Name" - this can be anything but should be something that describes the printer you wish to print to. The "Device URI" should be the following format:
    • popup://199.17.25.141/DeviceURI
      Replace DeviceURI with the queue name of the desired printer. Refer to the list of HuskyNet print queues to locate queues.
     
  • Select a printer model from the popup menu, or leave it with the default of "Generic". Click the <Add> button to close the dialog, then quit Print Center.

Printing Information

When you are printing to a HuskyPrint printer, you will see a "popup" application appear on the screen. Supply your HuskyNetID (username). Make sure you supply your HuskyNetID so you are able to release your print jobs at the release stations.

NOTE: If Pop-ups do not pop-up when printing, your local firewall might prevent Pharos Pop-up to be allowed through the firewall. To make sure it is allowed, go to Apple menu, System Preferences, and Sharing. Under the Firewall tab, click the New button (next to Allow.) Settings:

Port: "Other" from dropdown list
TCP Port #: 28212
Description: "Pharos Popup"
