Changes of the printer assignment by Administrator
At each start and in a defined interval (adjustable via performance profiles), the steadyPRINT Agent checks the changes to the printer connections. In addition, the steadyPRINT Center sends push notifications to the respective Clients when printer assignments are added or the detail window of the Active Directory is modified by the administrator.

By default, the push notifications use 8009. This can be modified via the settings in the steadyPRINT Center.
