If you are a licensed user of Workpapers CS you can install the Workpapers CS print driver to make it available from print dialogs in all applications. Selecting the Workpapers CS print driver from non-CS Professional Suite applications, such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel enables you to create and store a PDF image of the source document or workpaper in the engagement binder.

The Workpapers CS printer is installed and available for all applications for which you are licensed in the Virtual Office CS or Software as a Service (SaaS) environment, but it cannot be used to print from a locally installed application to a version of Workpapers CS that is accessed in the Virtual Office CS or SaaS environment.

Installing the print driver

Use the following procedure to manually install the Workpapers CS print driver. The installation steps need to be completed at each workstation separately.

  1. Close all open applications.
  2. In Windows Explorer, browse to the location of the Workpapers CS print driver's installation file at X:\Program Files (X86)\Creative Solutions\Workpapers CS\PrintDriver (where X is the location of your application's local installation files).
  3. Right-click the ACSPrintDriverInstall.exe file and choose to install the printer driver as an Administrator.
