PrintFleet Printer DCA

Managing local devices with 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.
