How it all Works PrinterMap displays a managed printer topology represented by icons. The icons provide real-time status and reporting information for each printer. Through a process called Discover, PrinterMap populates its database with printer information from SNMP enabled printers and then associates each printer with an icon in the Topology window. By grouping managed printers, custom topologies are created based on parent topology. Third party applications are configured for launch against selected printers through the PrinterMap Topology window. PrinterMap utilizes two configurable background tasks (Status and Reporting services) that maintain PrinterMap's printer and reporting databases with up-todate information. Once PrinterMap is installed, these processes run in the background, gathering printer information, whether the PrinterMap Topology window is active or inactive. Both processes display on the Windows 95/98 system tray and, if double-clicked, launches the PrinterMap Service Control window. The Status and Reporting services are stopped and restarted from the Service Control window. On Windows NT, the Status and Reporting Services are controlled as any other NT service through the Services option on the Control Panel. PrinterMap provides an interface for configuring automated responses to detected printer alarms. Detected alarms may be logged, triggered by a notification Pop-up window or launched by another application. Reporting data is used to generate printer reports. Generated reports are printed or exported to comma-delimited format files for later import into third party database or spreadsheet software packages. PrinterMap User Guide 3

PrinterMap displays a managed printer topology represented by icons. The icons
provide real-time status and reporting information for each printer.
Through a process called Discover, PrinterMap populates its database with printer

Both processes display on the Windows 95/98 system tray and, if double-clicked,
launches the PrinterMap Service Control window. The Status and Reporting
services are stopped and restarted from the Service Control window. On Windows
