After you’ve created an invite link, as described in Step 1: Configure Cloud Print in the Mobility Print server , send the link to your users.

Now your users have this link, all they have to do is click it and follow the steps below. We recommend you also follow these steps on your Mac to familiarize yourself with the user’s process.
