Cause
NPAPI plugin was blocked by browsers in MAC, as the plug-in is specific to Windows. The fix has been shipped with iPrint Appliance 3.0 Patch 1, however the patch does not auto install the iPrint iManager plugin. Following step 2 within the Resolution section of this document is required to install the plugin.
