To create a map of printer locations, first choose a background, then drag and drop a Printer icon onto the design area. Use the fields below to configure the parameters of the printer icon.
Printer Icon
Select the type and size of the Printer icon you want. You can change an existing icon on the map by selecting the icon, then selecting a new printer icon.
Icons are stored in sys:\apache2\htdocs\ippdocs\images\printers and are autodetected by iPrint Map Designer at startup. If you create a custom icon, you should copy it into the above directory.
Printer List
Select the printer agent you want to associate with this printer icon. If no printers are listed, you will need to specify an NDPS® Manager using the Lookup icon located adjacent to the drop-down list.
When the correct NDPS Manager is selected, a list of printers are displayed in the list. If a printer is not listed, you have not enabled IPP for the printer.
Printer Agent
Displays the currently selected printer agent. Use the Printer List to select a different printer agent.
Printer URL
The URL created for the printer when IPP is enabled for the printer. You should not need to change the URL.
Mouse Over Text (Optional)
By default, Mouse Over Text displays the printer agent's name. You can override this information by entering the text you want to display when a user moves the mouse over the Printer icon.
If you want to restore the default text after you have modified the field, you must delete the text and then reselect the printer agent from the Printer List.
Printer Caption (Optional)
Enter the information you want displayed under the Printer icon in the map.
Background
Select the background map you want to use. Background maps are stored in sys:\apache2\htdocs\ippdocs\images\maps and are autodetected by iPrint Map Designer at startup. You should copy your maps to this directory.
