Managing device groups and devices 95 Managing device groups and devices Creating and populating device groups Understanding device groups A device group is a collection of printers that share one or more solution deployments with the same local configuration. At least one device group must be created to deploy solutions. Multiple device groups should be created if either more than one solution is deployed to different sets of printers or one solution is deployed with different local configurations for different printers. Note: Printers are known as devices in LMC. Printers can be members of more than one device group. Solutions from each device group to which a printer belongs will be deployed to that printer.
