Advanced Configuration Issues This section provides a look at advanced details of the PrinterMap discover process. These topics include PrinterMap vendor and model support as well as configuring PrinterMap SNMP time-out values. Mib.ini File Supported Vendors and Printer Models When the discover process finds a device on the network it determines is a printer, it attempts associating that printer with one of the supported printer manufacturers (Xerox, HP, Lexmark, etc.). If the discover process makes this association the printer is represented in the PrinterMap Topology window with a vendor-specific icon. Otherwise the printer is represented with the Generic printer icon. In the case of Xerox manufactured printers, PrinterMap attempts associating a particular printer with a model-specific icon. If a model-specific icon is not defined for a particular printer's model, the printer is represented with the Xerox-Generic printer icon. PrinterMap is shipped with a pre-defined set of supported printer manufacturers or vendors. The set of supported vendors cannot be extended by the user. Future PrinterMap versions will support an ever increasing number of printer vendors. PrinterMap is shipped with a default set of printer models associated with each supported vendor. These vendor and model associations are defined in PrinterMap's Mib.ini file. Xerox printer model to icon associations are defined in PrinterMap's Pmap.ini file. The content of both of these files is loaded during PrinterMap initialization and are located in the PrinterMap install directory ([Drive]:\[Install Directory]). PrinterMap's Mib.ini file contains entries mapping each supported vendor to one or more supported models (identified by the model's MIB II System Object Identifier). The Mib.ini file is found in the [Drive]:\[Install Directory]\ directory. An excerpt from a sample Mib.ini file follows. The excerpt is for the supported vendor Xerox.

Advanced Configuration Issues
This section provides a look at advanced details of the PrinterMap discover
process. These topics include PrinterMap vendor and model support as well as
configuring PrinterMap SNMP time-out values.
Supported Vendors and Printer Models
When the discover process finds a device on the network it determines is a printer,
it attempts associating that printer with one of the supported printer manufacturers
(Xerox, HP, Lexmark, etc.). If the discover process makes this association the
printer is represented in the PrinterMap Topology window with a vendor-specific
icon. Otherwise the printer is represented with the Generic printer icon. In the case
of Xerox manufactured printers, PrinterMap attempts associating a particular
printer with a model-specific icon. If a model-specific icon is not defined for a
particular printer’s model, the printer is represented with the Xerox-Generic
printer icon.
PrinterMap is shipped with a pre-defined set of supported printer manufacturers or
vendors. The set of supported vendors cannot be extended by the user. Future
PrinterMap versions will support an ever increasing number of printer vendors.
PrinterMap is shipped with a default set of printer models associated with each
supported vendor. These vendor and model associations are defined in
PrinterMap’s Mib.ini file. Xerox printer model to icon associations are defined in
PrinterMap’s Pmap.ini file. The content of both of these files is loaded during
PrinterMap initialization and are located in the PrinterMap install directory
(
[Drive]:\[Install Directory]
).
PrinterMap’s Mib.ini file contains entries mapping each supported vendor to one
or more supported models (identified by the model’s MIB II System Object
Identifier). The Mib.ini file is found in the
[Drive]:\[Install Directory]\
directory.
An excerpt from a sample Mib.ini file follows. The excerpt is for the supported
vendor Xerox.
