Configuring printers using configuration profiles
To create and configure multiple PrinterOn printers at once, you can create a printer configuration profile and then import that file into the Configuration Manager. A configuration profile is a CSV text file that defines the configuration properties of multiple printers. Configuration profiles simplify the printer creation and configuration process when you have a large number of printers. For information on creating a configuration profile, see Creating a printer configuration profile.
A printer configuration profile defines a number of settings, including:
Printer Name
Printer Description/Location Settings
Print Workflows Options
Print Driver Settings
Printer Capabilities
To further simplify the process, you can use printer configuration profiles in conjunction with printer templates. For certain properties, if values are left blank, the server applies the value found in the specified template.
📘 Importing a printer configuration profile into the Configuration Manager
To import a printer configuration profile:
In the Configuration Manager, click Printers. The Printers tab appears, displaying a list of currently available printers.
Click the Import icon.
Click Browse and locate the CSV Data Set file to import.
Click Upload. Wait for the transaction to be processed. If there are no validation errors, the printers will be added or modified accordingly.
Verify the results by checking one or more printer settings.
