OCS Client Installation 

Please Note: You must be logged onto the client workstation as the local Administrator in order to install the client software. 

Step One – from the workstation, browse to the server using Start/Run and type in “\\ENTER YOUR SERVER NAME”.  You should be seeing the OCSPROG folder. 

Step Two – Go into OCSPROG/CDUSR and find “Tstart.exe” – Run it 

Step Three – Follow the steps for installation and you should see a “P” come into the bottom right taskbar and you will know it is running when it is blinking red then green. 

Step Four – Check the Printers folder to ensure the installation brought our Virtual Printer onto the client.  It is typically called MONITOR. – Monitor should be the default printer. - If this did not happen, you will have to manually install it from the network. 

Step Five – Test, send a print job from the client and see if you get the OCS Pop-Up.  If you do, go to the Print Release Station and ensure the print you just sent is in the list.   

If you do not get the pop-up, check your XP firewall settings on the client computer.  Oftentimes you need to allow a Port for OCS to get through.  To do this, simply allow a Port, named OCS on port 13001 – this should solve the issue.  Test again. 

At this point, you should have an installed and functioning client.  If you run into any issues, give OCS Support a call at 905-828-9706.
