If that’s the case you will need to install the printclient.
Installation
The printclient consists of two parts:
- A small helper application, that talks to printers
- A browser extension, which connects the Ticketmatic app to the helper application
Both need to be installed separately.
Installing the helper application
Use one of the following installation instructions to install the helper application, depending on the operating system you use:

Installing the browser extension
The browser extension is available for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. You’ll need to use one of these browsers to be able to use the printclient.
