Hi, I recently convinced our manager to upgrade my system from a PC to a Mac (W00t!!), so now I feel so much more productive (design-wise).
In the meantime, however, the PC is where we used to operate our Fiery Command Workstation software and the attached server/Canon C1 ImagePRESS. The set-up included Acrobat 7.0 Standard and Enfocus Pitstop.
Some of the OS X installation software was included in our bundle of apps we received from the reseller, including a Mac version of Command Workstation, EFI viewer, printer drivers etc, and I already have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. (I could not find the Enfocus Pitstop software on any of the discs). To this point, this set of installed software allows me to remotely see, start, and cancel jobs printed by both myself and others on our network. But I have yet to restore the ability to impose jobs for saddle-stitch and X-up ganging etc. Nor does the Actions Menu>Properties tool work with Command Workstation (it's grayed out).
I'm asking the question here on the forums because the reseller that provided us this technology really hasn't been able to answer me yet. Their suggestion is to restore the software onto another PC (which is fine, but I would prefer the software to be on the same workstation that I use my other programs on.)
Does anyone out there have a similar OS X workflow (or work-around) for Fiery/Command Workstation?
I'm certainly aware of the option to use the VMWare Fusion avenue, too, but we'll see where this goes first.
