1. The HP Click application can be installed in Self Service (for Mac users) and from Chocolatey GUI (for Windows Users)

Mac Users can launch the Self Service application, click the 'Printers' category. Look for 'HP Click' - and select 'Install'.

Windows users can launch Chocolatey GUI (Click Windows logo in the bottom-left corner and type 'Chocolatey' - you should see it, click on it to launch). 

Once inside Chocolatey, Click 'PSD-Software' - you can search for 'Click'. 

Double-click on 'HP Click (Install)' - you should see an 'Install' button in the bottom-left corner. Installation may take a couple minutes.

2. Once it is installed and ran for the first time, you may see a warning pop-up (pictured below) - simply click 'Open' (this applies to Mac only).

3. After launching the application, it will attempt to auto-detect printers on the network. Instead of going this route, you will need to manually add the poster printer by IP. You may need to enquire for the IP address of your respective schools HP Poster Printer (exact model will likely be a HP DesignJet Z9 44in). 4. Select 'Add' at the next screen. Then enter the IP address for the Poster Printer, and click the blue arrow so the program can find the printer on the network. It will automatically fill in the name field with the model. Note: If the printer is sleeping, you may have to either touch the screen to wake it up, or enter the IP address of the printer into your web browser, and click on the 'Wake Up' button in order for the HP Click software to see the printer. The IP address below is for Gig Harbor High School's poster printer. Do not use this IP unless you are attempting to add the poster printer at GHH.

4. You may now select 'Done'.

5. Now proceed through the next couple screens by selecting 'One more thing' - then - 'Ok' - then - 'Done' 

6. It's all setup to print. You may want to configure printing options, such as quality, color, etc.

Copy the IP address of the printer into a web browser (like Google Chrome) - hit enter - you should see the page below. Click 'Wake Up' - HP Click app should now be able to find and add the printer.
