Figure 17 Discover Progress window Once the discover process is completed, PrinterMap indicates how many new printers are discovered and a total of all printers currently managed. If errors occur during the discover process, PrinterMap reports the errors and also records them in the PrinterMap log file (pmap.log). Figure 18 Discover Complete dialog Objects are added to the topology map with a color-coded icon based on information retrieved during the discover process. If a printer becomes inaccessible (possibly due to reboot or network outage) or is experiencing an alarm condition, the icon representing that object changes colors. This occurs at the time of the next status poll to reflect the change in status. If PrinterMap is unable to determine the status of a network printer, the printer is added to the topology as a blue (unknown status) icon. NOTE: Any printer with two network interfaces (network cards) is discovered and mapped to the topology twice. After the initial building of a printer topology map, a discovery may be periodically performed to insure the topology includes any printers added to the network. Discovered printers no longer a part of the existing network may be removed from PrinterMap topology by deleting the printer icon. New printers may be added to PrinterMap topology via the Add Printer menu option or by initiating a new discover with the proper discover configuration parameters. PrinterMap User Guide 29

Figure 17 Discover Progress window
Once the discover process is completed, PrinterMap indicates how many new
printers are discovered and a total of all printers currently managed. If errors
occur during the discover process, PrinterMap reports the errors and also records
them in the PrinterMap log file (pmap.log).
Figure 18 Discover Complete dialog
Objects are added to the topology map with a color-coded icon based on
information retrieved during the discover process. If a printer becomes
inaccessible (possibly due to reboot or network outage) or is experiencing an
alarm condition, the icon representing that object changes colors. This occurs at
the time of the next status poll to reflect the change in status. If PrinterMap is
unable to determine the status of a network printer, the printer is added to the
topology as a blue (unknown status) icon.
NOTE:
Any printer with two network interfaces (network cards) is discovered and mapped to
the topology twice. After the initial building of a printer topology map, a discovery
may be periodically performed to insure the topology includes any printers added to
the network. Discovered printers no longer a part of the existing network may be
removed from PrinterMap topology by deleting the printer icon. New printers may be
added to PrinterMap topology via the Add Printer menu option or by initiating a new
discover with the proper discover configuration parameters.
