Creating and populating device groups

Understanding device groups

A device group is a collection of printers that share one or more solution deployments with the same local
configuration. At least one device group must be created to deploy solutions. Multiple device groups should be
created if either more than one solution is deployed to different sets of printers or one solution is deployed with
different local configurations for different printers.
Note: Printers are known as devices in LMC.
Printers can be members of more than one device group. Solutions from each device group to which a printer belongs
will be deployed to that printer.
