PrinterMap Components
This section provides an overview of the PrinterMap components.
Figure 1 PrinterMap Components
The Topology component refers to PrinterMap’s main graphical user interface
window where most PrinterMap functionality is accessed. It is the main
PrinterMap window portion where printer icons and printer status are displayed.
PrinterMap’s SNMP engine services SNMP requests generated by the Report,
Status and Discover processes.
PrinterMap Discover finds the SNMP enabled network printers within the
configured discover scope and builds a printer information database. This
database is used by PrinterMap for displaying printers and printer status in the
main topology window.
PrinterMap’s Report function configures how often printer report data is collected.
It polls printers for report data at the configured intervals, and provides an
interface for generating Standard and Custom reports for individual printers or
printer groups.
The Alarm function defines automated responses to detected printer alarm
conditions and provides detected alarm viewing.
The Applications Paths function provides a mechanism for configuring paths to
vendor specific management application. It insures the ability to automatically
associate a management application with a managed printer based on the printer’s
