Install the NDD Print Agent

To perform the NDD Print Agent installation on macOS, follow the necessary Installation prerequisites.

Installation via installation package

  1. Download the NDD Print Agent for macOS

  2. Locate the installation file with the name NDDPrintAgent-5.30.X.zip

  3. Double-click the file to unzip it. You'll have a new file namedNDDPrintAgent-5.30.

During installation, macOS may display a compatibility warning. This is because the current version of NDD Print Agent was developed only for Intel processors. However, this warning does not prevent you from using the application, which will continue to operate normally after installation.

Since this structure differs from that of a Microsoft architecture, the directory structure used by the NDD Print Agent macOS module is as follows:

Logs Directory

  • /opt/ndd-print-agent/log

Settings Directory

  • /opt/ndd-print-agent/settings

Working Directory

  • /opt/ndd-print-agent/workfolder

Default NDD Print Auditing Directory

  • /opt/ndd-print-agent/workfolder/auditing

Changed Visual Layout

Unlike other operating systems, when you install the NDD Print Agent module, the menu bar (toolbar) does not appear at the top of the application window, but rather at the top of the screen. This is due to a feature of Apple’s architecture:
