Figure 1 PrinterMap Components
The Topology component refers to PrinterMap' s main graphical user interface
window where most PrinterMap functionality is accessed. It is the main
PrinterMap window portion where printer icons and printer status are displayed.
PrinterMap' s SNMP engine services SNMP requests generated by the Report,
Status and Discover processes.
PrinterMap Discover finds the SNMP enabled network printers within the
configured discover scope and builds a printer information database. This

interface for generating Standard and Custom reports for individual printers or
