C: Autoconfigure Printers

Webspace can provide transparent access to client-side printers.

Check the option that should be allowed in your system.

Option Description
Default printer only (Default) Only attempt to automatically configure the default printer at startup, enabling clients to print a Webspace screen on the default printer only.
None Prohibits printing on the client side.
All Attempt to automatically configure all client printers at startup, enabling clients to select and print on any available printer.
Note: If the print option is changed after a client session, it may be necessary to delete a print.ini file that was created when CimView printing used during a Webspace session.

The file is generally located in the c:\documents and settings\<user name>\Local Settings\Application Data directory.

The next time CimView printing is used during a Webspace session on the client machine, a new print.ini file will be created with the new settings.
