Users send the print jobs to the printer directly via the IP address of the printer or to the printer that is connected to their workstations locally via cable (USB, LPT or others).

In this demo, we use two computers. PrinterAdmin Print Job Manager is installed on one computer with computer name: server1. The other computer name is client1. On the computer \\client1, it has two printers. One is direct IP printer: HP LaserJet 8150 Series PCL6, the other is workstation locally connected printer via USB cable: Lexmark X125.

Step 1. Download and extract the 30-day trial version of PrinterAdmin Print Job Manager, then double click setup.exe to install PrinterAdmin Print Job Manager on the computer \\server1.

Note: If PrinterAdmin Print Job Manager is installed on Windows Vista / Windows 7 / Windows 2008, go to the installation folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\PrinterAdmin Software\PrinterAdmin Print Job Manager), right click “PJAdmin.exe”, then click “Properties”, select “Compatibility” tab, set "Run this program as an administrator" in Privilege Level and Click "Change settings for all users" button, Set "Run this program as an administrator" in Privilege Level in "Compatibility for all users" tab. Repeat this for "PrintSaver.exe".

Step 2. Click Start -> All Programs -> CZ Solution -> PrinterAdmin Print Job Manager 6.0 to run PrinterAdmin Print Job Manager for the first time. If Preferences window doesn't appear, click menu Print Jobs -> Preferences.

Step 3. Click Advanced tab, select the following options and click Save, and then click Exit.

• Enable agent communication

• Hide agent system tray icon on the workstation while agent is running

• Track workstation direct IP printer or workstation connected printer via USB or LPT cable

Step 4. Copy "Print Job Agent.msi" to the computer \\client1, double click "Print Job Agent.msi" to install the agent. The add-on Print Job Agent can also be installed silently using Windows Group Policy.

Step 5. Click Start -> All Programs -> Print Job Agent -> Print Job Agent 1.0 to run the agent. Enter the computer name (in this example: server1) or the IP Address of the computer that has PrinterAdmin Print Job Manager installed.

Note:

1. Print Job Agent will be started automatically when user login next time.

2. Modify Print Job Agent.msi package to include the name or IP address of the computer where you installed PrinterAdmin Print Job Manager 6.0, so you don't have to enter it manually when you run Print Job Agent the first time on each workstation. Visit Step 1 of Windows Group Policy how to Orca to modify Print Job Agent.msi .

Step 6. From the computer \\client1, send a print job to the direct IP printer: HP LaserJet 8150 Series PCL6 and and send another print job to locally connected printer: Lexmark X125. The print jobs are tracked in PrinterAdmin Print Job Manager -> Printed Jobs. These two printers will be added to the list of monitored printers automatically in PrinterAdmin Print Job Manager Preferences -> Printers. Note: The "IP_" means the direct IP printer. The "Local_" means workstation connected printer via USB, LPT or other cables.

If the print jobs sent to the direct IP printer or workstation locally connected printer are not tracked, see FAQ 3.

Step 7. In Control Panel --> Administrative Tools --> Services, if PrinterAdmin Print Job Manager service has not been installed yet, click PrinterAdmin Print Job Manager menu Tools -> Install Windows service.
