Managing Local Print Agent

To install Local Print Agent manually from the local printer
host computer:
• Run the Local Print Agent.msi file on the computer you want
to install Local Print Agent on. The installation file is found by
default in: program files\Printer DCA\Support folder. The
installation file can be copied to a USB drive, CD, etc. for
portability.
The Printer DCA has an embedded push install utility specifically for
Local Print Agent. See "Performing a Push Install of Local Print
Agent" on page 33.
In addition, you can schedule periodic push installs to your entire
Printer DCA scan range to ensure that Local Print Agent gets
installed to any new computers on the network.
To schedule regular push installs using the Printer DCA:
1. Under the Scan tab, make sure the correct scan profile is
selected from the Scan Profile list. For more information on
scan profiles, see "Managing scan profiles" on page 14.
2. Under the Local tab, select the Enable Push Install check box.
3. In the Change Push Install Credentials dialog, enter the
credentials of the user that belongs to the local administrator
group on the target OS.
Warning These credentials will be saved in an encrypted
format in the Printer DCA. If you do not want these
credentials saved, do not enable scheduled push
installs.
4. Beside Start, select a start date and time for the automated
push install.
5. Beside Repeat, select the interval you want to perform the push
install at.
6. Click Save.
If the environment already uses a third party push installation tool,
you can use that to push install the Local Print Agent.msi file.
The installation file can be found in the Printer DCA\support folder
on the system installed with the Printer DCA (its default location).
Refer to the user guide for the third party push installation tool for
further instructions.
Printer DCA includes a separate user interface called Printer DCA -
Local Agent Management which you can use to manage Local
Print Agent.
