Article summary

Question:

How can I install a MAC printer driver pkg along with the popup client.


Information:

Add the full driver installer pkg to the popup.dmg and launch it along with the popup install. If the driver is too large to be placed into the Popup.dmg then you have to expand the popup.pkg capacity. That will be coverd in another KBase article.

Here is a sample line that is used in the " Postinstall.sh " file to launch the driver install.

sudo /usr/sbin/installer -pkg '<driver package name>.pkg' -tgt LocalSystem That would install the driver. You will want to do that first in the " Postinstall.sh " file, then add the Pharos printer with the lpadmin command.

Refer to the technotes below for details on creating Mac install packages.
