Does Ergosoft RIP support macOS, Linux, or other operating systems?

Problem/Question

Your PC that does not run Windows natively so you are wondering, “Can I use Ergosoft on my macOS, Linux, or other operating system?”.

Solution/Work-Around

According to our System Recommendations, Ergosoft RIP is designed exclusively for Windows and does not support other operating systems. The application relies heavily on Windows-specific components to manage printer drivers and ensure seamless communication between the software and printer hardware. Due to this deep integration, developing a cross-platform version is technically impractical.
At this time, there are no feasible options to extend support to other operating systems.
