CONFIGURED PRINTERS

In large IT environments where tens of network printers are in use, administrators may want to quickly know which systems have been configured with which printer. If a printer goes offline suddenly, then this information will enable the administrator to identify the systems, that will be impacted by the non-availability of the printer. To view the critical printer information, use the CONFIGURED PRINTERS page in the eG Configuration Management console.

This page can be used to access the complete list of systems, that have been configured with a specific printer, and also those printers that are configured for a specific system. If required, you can even configure this page to list only the default printers associated with a system(s).

This page can be accessed by the following menu sequence: Inventory->Configured Printers.

To view the printer information, do the following:

  • If you want to view the printer configuration of a specific system or the systems with which a specific printer is associated, pick one of the following options from the Search by list box:

    • System: To know which printers a particular system has been configured with, choose this option and provide the whole/part of the system name to search for in the text box alongside.
    • Printer: To know which systems a specific printer has been configured for, choose this option and provide the whole/part of the printer name to search for in the text box alongside.

    If the text box is left blank, then, regardless of the option chosen from the Search by list, this page will report the printer configuration of all the managed systems in the target environment.

  • Indicate how you want the output of this query to be grouped, by selecting an option from the Output section. If the Printer option is chosen, then the results of this query will be grouped on the basis of the printer name. Selecting the System option, will ensure that the results of this query are grouped according to the system name.

  • If you want to view the details of only the default printer configured for a specific system or all systems, select the Default check box.

  • Finally, click the SUBMIT button.

  • Doing so will invoke the printer configuration details, that fulfill the specified criteria. Default printers can be identified using the image, next to the printer name.
