[. . . ] 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. When a check is found beside this menu item, icon sorting is enabled. 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. PrinterMap User Guide 37 Figure 21 Update Printer Information window Update Printer Configuration Checking this box and continuing with the update causes PrinterMap to update configuration information for all managed printers. An example is media input source information (i. e. The number of paper trays a printer has is determined at the time the printer is discovered. From that point PrinterMap only maintains current paper levels for those trays. In the future, if an additional tray is configured for the printer, PrinterMap is not aware of the new tray and does not gather or display any related information. Using the update printer mechanism provides the ability to update this tray configuration information for all discovered printers. Another use of this functionality is updating printer information following a PrinterMap upgrade installation. For example, PrinterMap v1. 0 only maintained information on the first five media input sources (paper trays). PrinterMap v1. 1 maintains up to ten media input sources. Running the update process with the Update Printer Configuration box checked causes PrinterMap to find any additional paper trays not found by the previous version. Update Generic Printers Checking this box and continuing with the update causes PrinterMap to compare all printers currently identified as Generic (i. e. not associated with any supported vendors) with the vendor system object id information maintained in the mib. ini file.
