Discovery

Discovering Printers

You must discover the printers to save their information in the OMPM database before you can

manage the printers. You can discover printers immediately or you can schedule printers to be

discovered at a later time.
You can choose SNMP v1/v2c or SNMP v3 options to discover printers. The SNMP options will be

saved once you start a discovery. The SNMP options will be re-used when the widget is re-opened, and

are not managed by the "Save Preferences" feature.

SNMP v1/v2c

When you launch the discovery widget from the navigation pane, SNMP v1/v2c option is selected by

default, and the default values are displayed.

Community Name

Community Name is the name assigned to a group of printers such as ’private’ or ’public’. Printers

whose community name does not match are not discovered.

NOTE:

In the discovery window, the SNMP Community Name field is mandatory and must not be left blank.
