Distributing Printer Groups to Target System Groups

Use

You can

distribute one or more Printer Groups to one or more Target System Groups.

You cannot

distribute single Printers to single Target Systems or Target System Groups.
distribute Printer Groups to single Target Systems.

Note

If you want to distribute one PAL Printer to one Target System, you can create a Printer Group which contains only this PAL Printer and a Target System Group which contains only this Target System.

Procedure

In the PAL Object List, select Printer Group from the dropdown menu. Select your Printer Group from the list and click Distribute. A selection screen with all defined Target System Groups appears. Select the Target System Group(s) you want distribute the Printer Group to.

Make sure that the distribution combinations are correct, then select OK.

Before the distribution of the Printer Group takes place, PAL checks whether the device types of the PAL Printers in the Printer Group are correctly installed in the Target System(s). When a Target System supports the device type distribution function, you can install a missing device type remotely in the Central System as described in chapter Device Type Distribution.

Result

When the Printer Group has been successfully distributed to the Target System Group(s), the members of your Printer Group (that is, the PAL Printers) can be used in the Target Systems for printing.

Printer(s) added to Printer Group "<NAME>". Updates in Target Systems will take place with next distribution.

Proceed as described in Distribution Status.
