  2. 2
    Install & run it. Open the file you downloaded. When your browser asks to connect to local devices, choose Allow. We detect it here automatically.
  3. 3
    Open the Print Bench & print

    Your printers appear automatically. Send a test label and you're paper-ready.

    Open the Print Bench
First run on Windows. Windows may show a SmartScreen “unknown publisher” prompt. Click More info → Run anyway. It's safe; a signed build is on the way.
First run on macOS. The build isn't notarized yet, so Gatekeeper blocks it the first time. In Terminal: xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ~/Downloads/paperready-agent-macos && chmod +x ~/Downloads/paperready-agent-macos, then double-click. (A signed installer is on the way.)
