Install the BizPrint desktop app on Windows, Mac or Linux
This page shows you how to download and install the BizPrint desktop app on a Windows, Mac or Linux computer. It is for merchants and staff who want a computer to print BizPrint print jobs on the printers connected to it. The BizPrint Android app has its own page.
