Manage Existing Printers

The Admin Console provides a setting enabling Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) to start managing printers already installed on end user workstations. The value of this setting is that you do not have to uninstall and reinstall printers on workstations for Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) to recognize and manage those printers. The following steps describe the process for configuring Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) to start managing previously installed printers on the workstations.

TCP / IP Printer Settings

Here is a brief overview of the settings used to manage existing printers. To access the Client settings go to Tools Settings Client.

Automatically manage all end-user TCP / IP printers

Enable this option to use Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) to manage previously installed printers on a workstation that match up with a printers in the Admin Console.

Enable auto-management item level targeting

Item level targeting allows you to designate specific users, groups, IP ranges, etc., impacted by the setting above. Click Show Filter to define targets. If you are rolling out Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) to a new environment, item-level targeting lets you do so in segments rather than all at once.

Additional Settings

Control end user interactions with TCP / IP printers and printer ports.

Item Level Targeting

You can restrict the auto-management functionality to a specific set of devices, sites, or users. A use case for this would be if you were doing a staged roll-out of Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic). Rolling the Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) Client out to one site, running tests, rolling the Client out to a second site, running more tests, and then pushing the Client to the rest of the organization. The following steps describe the process for restricting the Client from managing existing printers to specific devices, sites, or users.
