Advanced Configuration Issues
This section provides a look at advanced details of the PrinterMap discover
process. These topics include PrinterMap vendor and model support as well as
configuring PrinterMap SNMP time-out values.
process. These topics include PrinterMap vendor and model support as well as

Supported Vendors and Printer Models
When the discover process finds a device on the network it determines is a printer,
it attempts associating that printer with one of the supported printer manufacturers
(Xerox, HP, Lexmark, etc.). If the discover process makes this association the
printer is represented in the PrinterMap Topology window with a vendor-specific
icon. Otherwise the printer is represented with the Generic printer icon. In the case
of Xerox manufactured printers, PrinterMap attempts associating a particular
printer with a model-specific icon. If a model-specific icon is not defined for a
particular printer’s model, the printer is represented with the Xerox-Generic
printer icon.

PrinterMap is shipped with a pre-defined set of supported printer manufacturers or
vendors. The set of supported vendors cannot be extended by the user. Future
PrinterMap versions will support an ever increasing number of printer vendors.
PrinterMap is shipped with a default set of printer models associated with each
supported vendor. These vendor and model associations are defined in
PrinterMap’s Mib.ini file. Xerox printer model to icon associations are defined in
PrinterMap’s Pmap.ini file. The content of both of these files is loaded during
PrinterMap initialization and are located in the PrinterMap install directory
([Drive]:\[Install Directory]).
