Troubleshooting

Up to 8 hours after installation, the Microsoft Company Portal may still show the Printix Client.pkg as Downloading even though the download and installation is complete. This is because Microsoft relies on an 8-hour synchronization interval. If you sync the Mac computer from Microsoft Endpoint Manager, the Company Portal will update and show the correct state (Installed).
