Case 4
Case description:
- Administrator computer 192.168.0.1
- Print server 192.168.0.2
- Workstation 192.168.0.3
- Workstation 192.168.0.4
- All computers and devices are connected to one network.
- Printers:
- At 192.168.0.2:
- Desktop printer physically connected to the server.
i.e. this printer is not a shared printer
- Desktop printer physically connected to the server.
Task:
- implement the system of monitoring print jobs
Solution:
To solve this problem, we recommend that you install the agent on the print server only and enable the Server Side Monitoring mode. Then, create a virtual printer for the desktop printer and share access to it on the network, i.e. the virtual printer becomes a shared printer. After this step, add printers connected to this newly created shared printer \\192.168.0.2\SharedPrinter on workstation.
As a result, users sitting at workstations will actually print on the virtual printer that is a shared printer. The virtual printer will intercept print jobs and redirect them to the physical printer. Data will be intercepted only at the print server.
