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:

  1. Double check your Network: ePrint will not work if you are using Visitor, Guest, or any Wi-Fi network outside of Duke.
  2. Also check for pending App store for updates - specifically those for printers (such as Ricoh and Sharp printers)
  3. You may try uninstalling and reinstall ePrint
  4. If the above does not work proceed to Option B

 

Option B:

  1. 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
