Print Server Replication and Migration > Import > Importing Printer Assignments from CSV File

Apart from the procedure described in chapter Printer Assignment, the steadyPRINT Center also offers the function of importing printer assignments via a CSV file. Specify the file to be imported via the ribbon in the flag "Extras"

Formatting the CSV file

The AD object as well as its domain and the structural object class have to be defined in the first three columns. Subsequently, the default printer and the printer assignments have to be specified. It is important to ensure that there is a sufficient number of columns for the printer assignments.

Format

ObjectName;Domain;StructuralObjectClass;DefaultPrinter;Mapping1;...;Mapping[n]

Description of the columns:

1.	ObjectName: Name of AD object (user login, computer or group name)

2.	Domain: Name of the domain

3.	StructuralObjectClass: Object class of principal (computer, group or user)

4.	DefaultPrinter: Specifies the printer which is defined as default printer (0 = No default printer defined, 1 = Printer1, 2 = Printer2 etc.)

5.	Mapping[n]: Specifies the printer assigned to principal

Example of CSV file with complete UNC path

ObjectName;Domain;StructuralObjectClass;DefaultPrinter;Mapping1;...;Mapping[n]

Training;steadyprint.com;group;1;\\pluto2\Kyocera FS-900

Note

Domain and/or StructuralObjectClass in CSV File is not Specified

If the domain or StructuralObjectClass of the AD object to be imported is not specified, the first object found in the domain trust will be used.

Note: The combination of an empty domain and a defined StructuralObjectClass leads to a non-solvable AD object!

Note	Type of Assignment
	Before importing the CSV file, the administrator is able to specify the type of assignment.
