Order Icons
PrinterMap supports two different sorting modes for printer icons in the Topology. The default behavior is sorting the printers based on the current selected attribute. Selecting this menu freezes the sort order on the current selected attribute. Selecting another attribute when the sort order is frozen updates the attribute information for printers in the Topology, but does NOT re-sort printers. This menu option provides the ability to add (or discover) a single printer to the Topology if its IP address or IPX address is known. Selecting this menu item accesses the Add Printer window.
Add Printer
Figure 20 Add Printer window
To add a printer, select Topology > Add Printer from the main menu and enter the printer' IP or IPX address in the Add Printer text box. After selecting the OK s button, PrinterMap attempts discovering the printer at the specified address by issuing SNMP queries. If the printer is a responding printer, it is discovered and added to the PrinterMap topology. This window retains the last addresses entered.
Update
Selecting this menu choice accesses the Update Printer Information window. Three different PrinterMap updates types can be initiated from the Updated Printer information window: update printer configuration, update generic printers and update host names. The update process is useful following a PrinterMap upgrade installation or after one or more managed printers have additional paper trays configured. The update process converts any Generic printers added to the Mib. ini to the appropriate vendor type.
