Discovering printers
Before a solution can be deployed to a printer, the printer must be discovered as part of a device group. Printers may
be manually discovered or automatically discovered on a schedule. This section covers manual discovery, which is
used during initial setup of the system. For more information about scheduled discovery, see “Scheduling a discovery
task” on page 90.
1
Click the
Device Groups
tab.
2
If necessary, create a new discovery profile.
3
Select a device group from the Device Groups list, or select
All Device Groups
to discover printers in multiple
device groups.
4
Select
Discovery
from the Tasks list.
5
If you are discovering printers in a device group or groups in which you have previously discovered printers, and
you want to skip any IP address where a printer has been discovered (including currently missing devices), select
Discover new devices only
. This results in a faster discovery when adding subsequent discovery profiles.
6
If you are discovering printers from multiple device groups, select the device groups for the discovery task in the
main section. (The list does not appear if a specific device group is selected in the Device Groups list.)
