As of version 6.5, you have the possibility to define automatic printer connections for print servers and folders by using other assignment types (See Overview Assignment Types).

This facilitates the distribution of printer assignments to each employee who is located in the appropriate IP area without the necessity to give him/her an assignment.

 

Adding automatic printer connections

The maintenance of automatic printer connections is available in the detailed view of print servers and folders in the tab "settings" (see figure steadyPRINT Center: Creating automatic printer connections).

Click Add and select the assignment type which is to be created.

 

 

 

 

Now you have the possibility - as you are already used to from the assignment view - to restrict the connection to terminal servers or workstations or to store the connection to be created as default printer.

In addition, you will only need to create the connections to be created if the user has no other assignments yet (see figure steadyPRINT Center: Customization of automatic printer connections)

Example: User A has assignments on user level. The administrator has stored automatic printer connections which are only connected for users without any assignments. This means, user A would only get the assignment which has been assigned to him on user level.

 

Display of automatic printer connections for users

If a user has been connected such an automatic printer connection it will also be displayed within the assignment view of a printer (see figure steadyPRINT Center: Display of temporary assignments).
