Figure 21 Update Printer Information window Update Printer Configuration Checking this box and continuing with the update causes PrinterMap to update configuration information for all managed printers. An example is media input source information (i.e. paper tray information). The number of paper trays a printer has is determined at the time the printer is discovered. From that point PrinterMap only maintains current paper levels for those trays. In the future, if an additional tray is configured for the printer, PrinterMap is not aware of the new tray and does not gather or display any related information. Using the update printer mechanism provides the ability to update this tray configuration information for all discovered printers. Another use of this functionality is updating printer information following a PrinterMap upgrade installation. For example, PrinterMap v1.0 only maintained information on the first five media input sources (paper trays). PrinterMap v1.1 maintains up to ten media input sources. Running the update process with the Update Printer Configuration box checked causes PrinterMap to find any additional paper trays not found by the previous version. Update Generic Printers Checking this box and continuing with the update causes PrinterMap to compare all printers currently identified as Generic (i.e. not associated with any supported vendors) with the vendor system object id information maintained in the mib.ini file. If a printer's system object id is found under one supported vendor in the Mib.ini file the printer is converted from Generic to the appropriate vendor type. The topology icon which represents the printer within PrinterMap is updated accordingly. For example, it would be useful to run this update after manually adding support for a new printer model.

Update Printer Configuration
Checking this box and continuing with the update causes PrinterMap to update
configuration information for all managed printers.
An example is media input source information (i.e. paper tray information). The
number of paper trays a printer has is determined at the time the printer is
discovered. From that point PrinterMap only maintains current paper levels for
those trays. In the future, if an additional tray is configured for the printer,
PrinterMap is not aware of the new tray and does not gather or display any related
information. Using the update printer mechanism provides the ability to update
this tray configuration information for all discovered printers.
Another use of this functionality is updating printer information following a
PrinterMap upgrade installation. For example, PrinterMap v1.0 only maintained
information on the first five media input sources (paper trays). PrinterMap v1.1
maintains up to ten media input sources. Running the update process with the
Update Printer Configuration box checked causes PrinterMap to find any
additional paper trays not found by the previous version.
Update Generic Printers
Checking this box and continuing with the update causes PrinterMap to compare
all printers currently identified as Generic (i.e. not associated with any supported
vendors) with the vendor system object id information maintained in the mib.ini
file. If a printer’s system object id is found under one supported vendor in the
Mib.ini file the printer is converted from Generic to the appropriate vendor type.
The topology icon which represents the printer within PrinterMap is updated
accordingly.
For example, it would be useful to run this update after manually adding support
