Start a trial on a computer

Requirements:

  • Your computer should be connected to the network you want to use Printix on, such as your office network.

  • Your computer must have access to at least one printer on the network, and the printer must have at least one print queue installed, to experience the various printing features. If you want to install on a fresh virtual machine, you should add a printer first, so it can become managed by Printix.

Step 1: Install

To resume the installation, sign in from printix.net or use the links in the email with the subject Get started with Printix.

  1. Download the Printix Client installer file.
  2. Open and run the downloaded file to install the Printix Client on your Windows or Mac computer.
  3. Sign in to the Printix Client.

    This is automatic if your Windows computer is Microsoft Entra joined.

    • If you see Sign in with Microsoft, select it and sign in with your work account.

    • If you see Sign in with Google, select it and sign in with your Google Workspace account (not @gmail.com).

    • Otherwise, enter the Email and Password you used when you registered. If you were not prompted to sign in, sign in through the Printix Client menu.

    • If you have issues while signing in to the Printix Client, see Sign in issues.

Step 2: Start printing

Having installed Printix Client, you can now print to the Printix-managed printers and examine the many features that make office printing convenient, secure, and easy to manage. But first, let us examine how you can print as usual.

  1. On your computer, open the item to print.
  2. On the File menu, select Print.

    You can notice that nothing has changed, except for the three letters at the end of the printer name (ASD, BNM), which indicates that these printers are now managed by Printix. Also, apart from the Printix Anywhere printer, you have the exact same printers available to you as you did before the installation.

  3. Select a Printix printer, then select Print.
  4. Optionally, try the print methods and consider adding 2-3 users.
