PrinterMap displays a managed printer topology represented by icons. The icons 
provide real-time status and reporting information for each printer.  

Through a process called Discover, PrinterMap populates its database with printer 
information from SNMP enabled printers and then associates each printer with an 
icon in the Topology window. By grouping managed printers, custom topologies 
are created based on parent topology. Third party applications are configured for 
launch against selected printers through the PrinterMap Topology window. 

PrinterMap utilizes two configurable background tasks (Status and Reporting 
services) that maintain PrinterMap’s printer and reporting databases with up-to-
date information. Once PrinterMap is installed, these processes run in the 
background, gathering printer information, whether the PrinterMap Topology 
window is active or inactive. 

Both processes display on the Windows 95/98 system tray and, if double-clicked, 
launches the PrinterMap Service Control window. The Status and Reporting 
services are stopped and restarted from the Service Control window. On Windows 
NT, the Status and Reporting Services are controlled as any other NT service 
through the Services option on the Control Panel. 

PrinterMap provides an interface for configuring automated responses to detected 
printer alarms. Detected alarms may be logged, triggered by a notification Pop-up 
window or launched by another application.  

Reporting data is used to generate printer reports. Generated reports are printed or 
exported to comma-delimited format files for later import into third party database 
or spreadsheet software packages.
