To run Print Control Proxy (PCP), the primary method based on the provided references is to locate and launch the application executable if it is not already running. It's a good practice to first check if the program is already active.
Steps to Run Print Control Proxy (PCP)
Follow these steps to launch the Print Control Proxy application:
- Check if PCP is Already Running: Before attempting to launch it, determine if Print Control Proxy is already active. While the references don't detail how to check, this is a logical first step.
- Reference Point: "c. If PCP is already running but it still does not work: ..." (This implies checking first is necessary).
- Launch PCP from the Start Menu: If you confirm that Print Control Proxy is not currently running, you can start it using the Windows Start Menu.
- Navigate to the Start Menu.
- Select All Programs.
- Look for the program group named Phidelity.
- Within the Phidelity group, find and click on Print Control Proxy.
- Clicking the Print Control Proxy executable will launch the application.
- Reference Point: "b. If PCP is not running, go to Start Menu All Programs Phidelity Print Control Proxy and click the Print Control Proxy executable."
Once launched, the Print Control Proxy should start running, often indicated by an icon in the system tray or a specific screen displayed.
Reference Point: "screen displayed." (This suggests a visual confirmation once it's running).
If Print Control Proxy is running but you encounter issues, the references suggest further troubleshooting steps may be required (though specific troubleshooting for a running but non-working PCP is not detailed beyond the mention in reference 2c).
For users running Google Chrome version 58 onwards, there might be specific configurations or interactions related to PCP, as noted in reference 3: "For Chrome users (version 58 onwards): ...", but this reference does not explain how to run the program itself.
Running Print Control Proxy is typically achieved by finding its shortcut or executable within the installed program files, most easily accessed via the Start Menu as described.
