PrinterMap User Guide
The following section discusses various discover parameters that may be set
through the Discover Configuration window. The Discover Configuration window
is divided into three portions. IP, IPX, and Community String.
IP
To discover network printers via IP, check the IP box located at the top left corner
of the Discover Configuration window. The user may now configure up to four
different methods by which PrinterMap can discover printers via IP. Subnet and
IP address range discover are configured under the main Discover Configuration
window and default gateway and secondary router discover are configured on the
Routers window accessible by clicking on the Routers button.
To perform an IP subnet discovery, check this box. In most cases PrinterMap
automatically fills-in the IP address and subnet mask of the local machine. The
user may use these values or fill-in new IP address and subnet mask information in
order to discover the printers on a remote subnet. Using the IP address and subnet
mask values, the discover process systematically checks all IP addresses within the
specified subnet. For example, if there is a class C network and the local
machine' s IP address is 12.13.12.67 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 then
PrinterMap queries every IP address between 12.13.12.1 and 12.13.12.254.
To perform an IP address range discover, check this box. Multiple IP address
ranges can be specified. The discover process queries all the IP addresses within
each specified range. After entering a new IP address range click the Add button.
Address ranges can be edited in-place by clicking the desired range twice. To
remove a range, highlight the range and click the Delete button.
To have PrinterMap resolve IP addresses of discovered printers to their host name
equivalent, check this box. In environments where IP host names are relied on
more than the MIB II system name value, this box should be checked. After the
discover process, PrinterMap resolves each discovered printer's IP address into its
equivalent host name value.
Choosing the Routers button retrieves another IP discover configuration window
with further choices for discovery via network routers.
