ePrint: Pharos pop up window not appearing on Mac
Question
- Why don't I see the Pharos Pop up window on my Mac when I print to ePrint?
Answer
- Before proceeding with the below steps try Option A first
Option A:
- Double check your Network: ePrint will not work if you are using Visitor, Guest, or any Wi-Fi network outside of Duke.
- Also check for pending App store for updates - specifically those for printers (such as Ricoh and Sharp printers)
- You may try uninstalling and reinstall ePrint
- If the above does not work proceed to Option B
Option B:
- Click Apple icon top right then select "System Settings"
2. In the search box type in "login items."
a. Click on the "Open at Login."
b. Click on the "+" under Item | Kind
3. Navigate to the Macintosh HD Drive as this is where the Pharos (ePrint) folder is located
a. Step 1: Click on arrow heads for file location options
b. Step 2: Select Macintosh HD
4. Select the Library Folder
5. Select Application Support Folder
6. Select Pharos Folder
7. Within the Pharos folder you will find a "Popup" item
- Select it and Click Add
8. You will now see the Popup item appear in your Login items
9. Last, a computer restart is suggested. If this Option B fails, please contact the OIT Service Desk for Option C - if a newer ePrint client is available
