What is the UniPrint driver?

Install the UniPrint Client

FreightWare Online now uses a Universal Printer (UniPrint) driver. This allows any Windows or Mac computer to print from FreightWare Online to any locally installed printer without the need for installation of any manufacturer printer drivers on the server. To enable this functionality, users must download and install a small program to their local machine to enable communication between their computer and FreightWare Online.

To install the UniPrint client on a Windows computer follow these steps:

  1. Download the client install file from the UniPrint website.
  2. Double-click on the downloaded file to initiate the installation.
  3. You can accept all of the default settings during the installation.
  4. If you are currently logged in to FreightWare Online, log off the server.
  5. Log in to FreightWare Online to begin using the new UniPrint driver.

To install the UniPrint client on a Mac computer follow these steps:

  1. Download the correct UniPrint Client from the FreightWare Support site.
  2. UniPrint Mac Client - 4.0.1 - For Mac OS X 10.8 or earlier
  3. UniPrint Mac Client - 4.1.0.3 - For Mac OS X 10.9 or Later
  4. Extract the downloaded file to a temporary folder.
  5. Consult the documentation in the extracted folder for further installation directions.

Note: The defualt setting is to prompt you for which printer you want to print to every time you print.  If you want to always print to the default printer:

  1. In the System Tray, Right Click the UniPrint Client Icon, blue square with white UP, and choose Options.  Move Check box to Print Directly to my default printer.

Note: For further information on installation and configuration of the UniPrint Client, please consult the pdf manual
